Need to Know

Park at the Butler Fork Trailhead.

Description

This is an awesome, quick low-angle run with a short approach. Check the forecast, but the ~30 degree slope through the trees provides relatively safer avalanche conditions. We skied it in late December 2018, with lots of brush to ski through with many groin shots by unavoidable branches.

Out the bottom of the Circle All trees back onto the skin track, after navigating through thick brush from the peak.
