Description
An alternate route to reach the 5040 on skis.
This route is approximate; I haven't tested it but I've heard that other people have done it and that it is nicer than the old growth bootpack up the summer route via Cobalt Lake.
In early/late season it also avoids the creek crossing.
I have heard that it has seen some clipping but is still bushy in spots.
