This is like a mini version of the Tuckerman Ravine Headwall. Short and steep, this is a great area for hot laps. The best approach is to ski Stealth Gully first, then climb from the bottom. Alternatively, you can hike over from Adams and ski directly in. Either way you get to the top, the line begins with low angle turns to gain a right trending ribbon of snow, ski across this and drop into any of the various chutes. Steep turns in the 45 degrees range lead through the chutes to merge in a big open patch. Ski the bushy runout to the the ravine floor.
