Description

The top of this descent can form a cornice, and just below the ridge you'll find the line's steepest section. If it looks sketchy, trust your gut. You'll be much safer if you keep to the lower, shallower aspects.

From the top, this line drops you into steep n' deep turns, through a small stand of trees, then out into the true "Bowl". Of course, this is just one lines of many that can be done here, and one could spend an entire day getting freshies if you hit it just right.

Additionally, the flat spot at the bottom is great for a snack break and is mostly out of the wind!
