“A return run from the Farmington Spine ascent.”

— Spencer Parkin

Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry

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.
