“A secret powder stash that is rarely hit, full of trees and bushes at the bottom.”

— Andrew Wilson

Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry

Need to Know

Need to be able to ski some tighter trees at times. There is a bit of bush whacking at the bottom, but it is manageable.

Description

This run is off the beaten path. It has thicker trees and more demanding terrain then the standard Goose Creek run. Thick bushes and trees line the bottom making the exit kind of dirty. Not many people ride this run, but it can sustain good powder for long periods. A bit of exploration can go a long way toward finding those secret deep pow runs.
