Cancer Man
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
0.29 mi
0 ft
Tight trees and steep cliffs in front of an audience
This run is the first pitch you'll see under the chair when uploading on the Crystal Ridge Express. Cancer Man is accessible by following the lift line from Backstage Pass/Rock N Roll. As you'll see from the chair, the main route has a couple of fairly substantial cliffs in it, which would be huckable if there weren't a load of snow-covered fallen trees in the landing. Scout your route from the chair and don't charge too hard until you know the exact route you intend to take. Given the visibility of this run under the chair, it is often skied out fairly quickly. If it looks too used don't worry, there are more fun spots to find in the area. Written by Harriet Parnis
