Frequent Flyer
Route Details
Frequent Flyer is a steep, confined avalanche path dropping into Connaught Creek in Glacier National Park, above the popular Balu Pass uptrack. It is a high-frequency slide path where natural avalanches are common, and anything that releases while you are skiing is likely to run full track into the skintrack and travel corridor below with little to no warning.
This line is not recommended as a standard ski run. If you choose to ski it anyway, treat it as serious overhead hazard management: very small groups, tight spacing, one-at-a-time exposure, and clear communication with any parties on the Balu Pass trail. Assume rapid wind-loading and changing conditions; if there is any sign of instability in the path or adjacent start zones, give it a wide berth and use one of the many safer options in Connaught Creek instead.
