“Tighter, steeper option from the Central Gully that turns into tight glade skiing back to the skin track. ”

Overview

This line offers a tighter and steeper option with more cover from wind.

Description

With an exposed traverse from the top of the Butler Gulch Ascent and Central Gully, the entrance to this line is fairly obvious and will probably have an established skin track with ski tracks visible. The bottom becomes very tight tree skiing, where it's best to choose the path of least resistance while bearing left (west) to link up with the skin track.
