Overview

This is the popular mellow open slopes of North Star Peak. Great for April-May corn harvesting as the entire route faces south east.

Description

From the barren upper reaches of North Star Peak. Head south east down open mellow slopes into the same drainage that Y-Knot couloir ends in. Aim for a small bench where an old road allows easy access back to the car. Sometimes skiable into May.
