Need to Know

This is a well documented avalanche path. Consult the Colorado Avalanche Forecast, and don't venture out there alone or if you don't know what you're doing. YOU COULD DIE.

Description

This area just gets filled in heavily with snow. It can be quite wind loaded, and there is a lot of variability in the snowpack here. You'll love this skiing if you're into steep terrain. Just make sure you know what you're doing (this terrain is not for intermediate skiers). You NEED to be an expert.
