“Skin track to access terrain in Beartrap Fork.”

Overview

Features: -none-

Description

This ascent is a low angle skin track that runs through the bottom of the drainage. By sticking close to the drainage, you'll avoid some of the most dense foliage, and make your way up a fairly consistent slope.

This is also a good way to access the skiing in the Willow Creek drainage to the East.
