Conehead's

Backcountry Skiing Route

Details
0.24 mi
19 ft
Broad, steep finger ridge with technical sections

Conehead's is a really fun run due to its airy feel. To your left, you have 6th Grade, and to the right, multiple rocky chutes. You have to stay between these features, skiing steep rocky ledges to get to the exit. To get here, keep skiing past King's on the skier's left. You will see the top of 6th Grade to your left, don't be tempted to go down there, bank a right. You will see that you're on a broad finger ridge that gets progressively wider as you ski down. There are many options of where to ski on this ridge, just keep in mind that it does get sun, and there can be lurking rocks and stumps at every turn. After about 400ft of fall line skiing, you will see a cliff below you. Head right on a angled shelf to exit without air, or punch it fall line off the cliff. Once off, you can head further right into Z Fan, go fall line into a nice South facing rock chute that you may have to air into, or head far left to The Dry Martini area. Written by Matthew Shortland
