Overview

Nice skiing in great, wide-open trees.

Description

This is a good safe bowl that gets you to the approach trail, and from there back to your car. Near the top of the ridge (near some trees), there are a few rollovers to avoid.

Trees can get tight and steep, but maybe I went the wrong way. Didn't go all the way up.
