Starting at the trailhead where Jones Peak is accessed, follow an old jeep road as it winds its way up the shoulder of Vasquez Peak. It eventually traverses the full length under the peak. This ascent provides access to a lot of skiing off Vasquez Peak.

Lots of terrain to choose from with each chute from right to left (west to east) getting progressively tighter and steeper. (Photo taken closer to Hidden Knoll than location shows).
