Making my way down what I refer to as Gaffney's ramp (since it comes in under Gaffney's Playground) You can see someone's bomb hole from someone hucking Gaffneys previously.

Description

This north-facing slope is wider than the other Hidden Knoll couloirs, while still having a good grade to get some fun turns in. Connect with the Current Creek Drainage descent at the bottom, which you can take all the way out to the trailhead.
