Need to Know

Bob's bar in Neihart has good food and local microbrews, and wrapping up a long day of touring at the White Sulphur hot springs makes for a pretty perfect day.

Description

Drop into the bowl just before the one mile marker. Be careful passing through the trees at the top. There is a buried rock band just past the trees, and you don't want to trash your skis! This south-facing slope gets a lot of sun and wind, but powder does accumulate.
