“Easy access to popular, dangerous terrain. People die here regularly. Seriously.”
— Nick Wilder
Description
Many skiers have died in the terrain accessed from here. Very good ones.
Other than that, there's not much to this one. There's an obvious gate at the top of the Mongolia lift - go that way, and on to the summit. Some people skin; many just bootpack it. The views from the top are spectacular.
