Description

This is a wide expanse of glades facing south and southwest. From the clearing on the approach, these are to the north, right, and a few minutes further up the road towards the West Fork Bowl.

The pitch overall is relatively low angle. The glades range from dense to wide open. There are some super nice lines through here. Although the skin track is shown on the old jeep road, you can actually skin up straight through the glades.

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).
