One of the more technical lines on the mountain as it requires a number of precise, tight turns, sluff management and the ability to stomp a large air at the bottom.
Drop in to Avy 2 (the middle one) and keep skier’s left as you make your way down the bowl. The chute begins quite a way up the slope and is easy to miss, or hard to avoid, depending on your goals. A steep, narrow chute with a few chokes takes you to a large cliff that can be hit from the end or pre-ollied from the gut (not as fun in the air, but matches up with the landing better). One of the more technical lines on the mountain as it requires a number of precise, tight turns, sluff management and the ability to stomp a large air at the bottom. The landing is front and center of chair 16 so any attempt at this beast of a line is usually rewarded with the appropriate applause. Faces NNW and is in the shade until later in the day or later in the season. Written by FATMAP Official
