The Dome Direct

The obvious “point it straight down” choice—the headwall everyone naturally gravitates toward. That popularity makes sense, but it also funnels risk into one corridor. A deeper snowpack usually makes it ski better and cover up the weirdness, but you still need solid stability and tight line discipline. This is a routefinding run: pick the right lane and it’s a great descent; drift off-line and you can quickly end up staring at cliffs you didn’t mean to meet.
