Gully #5

At the right end of The Fingers, is one wider, more prominent Gully. This is Gully #5, which deserves its own listing. Enter the big drainage after the downhill skin on GOS Trail, as you would for The Fingers. Break right at the fork and join this slender gully. Unlike the other GOS lines uphill of here, Gully 5 actually allows you to top out and ski from Boott Spur Ridge. The top can be bushy in lean conditions, ski through a short rock lined chute, which mellows into a long tree lined gully. Ski this back to the fork and navigate the bushy drainage back to GOS trail. This area is complex avalanche terrain and presents a big terrain trap, which all the fingers merging into one narrow drainage. Be aware and pick a good stability day to venture into this zone.
