“Although it tends to host a conga line in the spring, it's worth the queue. ”

Overview

II D8 R1
This line tends to be skied during mid-spring, when it's filled in the most but has safer snow. It skis from the summit of Audubon and is a worthy destination for any spring skier.

Description

Most tend to climb the line itself but it is absolutely possible to approach via the Mt. Audubon Trail. Ski off the summit to the west and watch for sharks, as this line can get thin by the edges. Make sure to ski this before the summer completely melts away the snow.
