“A fun intermediate run with some flowy terrain features.”

Driving DirectionsGPX File
Type: In Bounds (completely inside ski area boundary)

Description

From the top of Lift 1, drop in on the right. This run follows a fall line down steepening terrain with a few rollovers. Near the bottom, there's a fun wind drift on the skier's left side.

Large avalanche in Wildy 1 which occurred between January 17th and 20th 2018. This is one of the reasons Taos Ski Valley doesn't have backcountry gates and has a closed boundary policy. This is the first chute south of the ski area on Kachina Peak.
