Triangle Moraine

Triangle Moraine here is mostly a low-angle connector used to link higher alpine terrain back toward the main exit. Expect a broad, rolling moraine with subtle benches rather than a defined fall-line run, and plan your line to avoid unnecessary sidehilling and poling.

From the upper moraine, trend down along the shallow ridge toward the tracked exit rather than dropping off either side into steeper gullies. The surface often gets hammered by traffic and wind, so you’re more likely to find refrozen chop, sastrugi, or thin breakable crust than soft snow. In firm conditions it can feel like an icy traverse with awkward micro-rolls rather than a fun descent.

Use it when you need an efficient way out, not as a primary objective. In poor visibility, keep a tight handle on navigation—there are few strong terrain features, and it’s easy to drift off the intended line and end up sidehilling or climbing back to the track. If coverage is thin or the exit is heavily rutted, be ready for a slow, survival-ski slog back to the main route.
