The top of the sky-line here is Rectangle Peak, and Rectangle run follows the sky-line from the peak left until it drops off into the rectangle formed by the ever-green trees.

At the top of Rectangle Peak in white-out conditions, getting ready to ski down in the worst possible style.

I think this is looking down Crescent Ridge. Great ski runs are to be had left and right of it. The ridge itself is a good ascent option, though it gets steeper and steeper near the top.

Overview

This is a wide-open slope encountered on the way to the Mud/Rice bowls. It may be a good destination in and of itself.

Description

This run may be a good goal in and of itself if going all the way to Mud/Rice bowls via Farmington Spine is too daunting. It's fairly low-angle. There's plenty of width on this slope for several spooned runs.

Beyond the tree the slope rolls over into a nice run down the spine.

Here you can see my skin track some squiggles I made, but just barely.
