Need to Know

Some small creeks weave back and forth. Under a good snow you can ride over them, but be careful if it's been warm as they tend to tunnel under the snow.

Description

Great upper pitches. The best way to do this is ski the upper pitches a few times and then make a final descent down the old fire road. Be careful for hidden rocks, logs, and stumps when cover is under 18".

The fire road can get narrow, lots of encroaching trees, some big rocks, and you can pick up speed very quickly if your not careful. Be cautious and remember you're in the backcountry.
