East Shoulder
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
0.1 mi
18 ft
This short steep face is rarely skied due challenging route finding
Even though East Shoulder is part of Hamburger Basin, it is only accessible when Southback is open. Enter the upper Southback gate at the summit of the Throne and work the ridge past Alex's Funnel to the steep, tree-d slope to the skier's right. Shimmy through the trees to the triangular slope below a cliff. Enjoy a few turns before hitting the traverse track, then work the trees and gullies below the traverse. End in the deep snow near the A-Basin Line. See description. Written by Kim Kircher
