“The slope just west of the Section House hut, aligned with the Continental Divide.”

Overview

Needs Overview

Description

Skin up the slope west of the Section House hut. Changeover anytime for a gentle ski through trees and glades. You'll be skiing the Continental Divide!

It's a bit of a long approach for a day outing, but you can reserve a bunk in either the Section House or Ken's Cabin—both are part of the 10th Mountain Division hut system.
