Bonzai
Backcountry Skiing Route

Fun options on and around a rock fin
Bonzai is a really nice variation on the bottoms of Lost Shot and Z Chute. It is a prominent piece of rock that separates the bottom of these two runs. There is a straightline on the skier's left side, with some fluty spines further left of that. On very high snow years, there are a series of steep spines that form on the skier's right side where you could send a large air out over the straightline, or simply ski off to the right. This area doesn't see a lot of traffic, so freshies will greet you here. Written by Matthew Shortland
