Grizzly Path

Grizzly Path is a ski line that drops through increasingly confined terrain, trending into a tight gully in the lower third. Once you are committed to the gully, options to escape are limited and the walls and creek-bed features start to funnel you.

Most parties avoid the full gully finish by breaking skier’s right toward the Puff Daddy exit, which offers a cleaner way out. Staying in the fall line gives a more direct finish but drops you into a narrow creek-bed feature that skis much harder, especially in firm or shallow conditions.

Because the channel shape magnifies hazards, this line needs deep, well-settled snow to be reasonable. Expect tight maneuvering, potential for debris and buried obstacles in the creek-bed, and strong terrain-trap characteristics low down. Treat the lower gully as serious consequential terrain, not just a casual runout.
