Secret gate that takes you just other side of rope line
Just as you pull up to the Lower Cirque you will see a chute that forks into two lines. Drop in and hang high and right and you will see the gate. It will take you to a short wide bowl under the Forbidden Zone and you can find good snow. This part of the bowl isn't very steep or long, but its not skied that much so you should be able to get a few face shots. The most technical and intimidating part is actually getting to the gate though rocks and big bumps over a little bit of exposure. Written by FATMAP Official
