Description

This is a very short, but enjoyable chute.

The major downside is that you get very little vertical of actual steep skiing and you'll be required to take a ridiculously long and flat traverse to get out of this area.

It's generally better to stick with Cornice Bowl and White Ribbon as those runs don't require as significant of a traverse to get out of.

Far Side is the absolute final run you should consider skiing as beyond it, the skiing becomes shorter vertical-wise and worse due to an increasingly southern exposure.

That isn't saying Far Side is a bad run as it can house some of the best snow in this popular backcountry area.

It's just not particularly worth the long traverse out!
