“A large, steep couloir that will usually have good snow, even days after a storm and everything else is chewed up.”

Need to Know
Description
The first entrance is steep and technical. The second entrance is farther north and is a bit easier, but you'll need to traverse back south to the Thumb's entrance. Once inside, there is a rocky cliff in the center that you can ski around to the south or huck it. After that, it's all yours.
