Overview

One of the highlights of skiing any of the steep lines in upper Tyndall Gorge is this moderate line at the bottom.

Description

At over a mile long (and up to nearly 2.5 miles, if you're able to ski all the way to Bear Lake Parking Area), Tyndall Gorge often holds deep snow late into the season.
