This is one of my favorite skis in the spring - a great moderate ski with some good steeper pitches for options towards the bottom. One note - watch out for those cracks around the rocks skier center towards the last steep slope. Only saw one slot way up high - 10k.

Approach Notes:

Snow within 0.25 mi of trailhead but we hiked in and skied out.
