Faller's Pillow

Backcountry Skiing Route

Details
0.16 mi
46 ft
Worth the traverse, the snow is often deep here and there's a couple of good cliffs to jump off too.

A long left traverse from the main Couloir chute, this line is also accessible from Hawaii 5-0, Bushrat and Whiplash. Stay high and you will end up on top of a large rock in the middle of the bowl. When you drop in on the other side of the pillow, enjoy a short but totally-worth it powder field. The closer you hug the rock the steeper the pitch, but everyone who has managed the couloir this far can find a fun line in here. Drop in underneath the pillow for a fun, fairly sizable drop, or keep farther left for a couple of smaller less intense ones. This zone often ends up full on avalanche/cornice debris, be careful, especially in low light! Written by Harriet Parnis
