“The standard approach to some open trees at Butler Gulch.”
— Jeramiah Paylor
Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry
Description
Good access with easy flat skinning at the beginning, leading to one of the shorter lap lines in Butler Gulch. This approach goes to one of the areas near Jones Pass that is lower angle with some nice open tree skiing.
