Description

This is an insane Couloir in Kirkwood's surrounding backcountry that requires a lot of effort to get to and ski successfully.

Take Chair 6 (Cornice Express) and travel out of bounds to Thunder Mountain's summit.

Continue to travel west towards the next sub-peak.

You will find this monstrous line around here.

You must rappel to get in.

Ice axes, ice screws, ropes, are 100% necessary and a fall will certainly result in death.

The chute also holds snow very poorly due to its insane pitch that it maintains throughout.

Jump turns are 100% required and there may be a few sections that require you to simply climb down.

This is a gnarly line that only the best of the best should even think of attempting.

Ride with caution
