Description

From the summit of Hellroaring Peak, a skier or snowboarder has their pick of a line through the wide open glades of snowghosts. After mitigating avalanche hazard, choose your fall line and descend through perfectly spaced glades until reaching the summer road that slices the face in half (Outpost Road). This is the end of the upper powder fields section and your have multiple choices in the continued descent from here.
