A worthy longer tour. Solitude is likely as not many skiers drop off of the backside of the front ranges. The line appears off fall-line, but once at the top of it skiers will see how good it is.

Bruins Glacier is pretty mellow in regard to crevasses, but having glacier rescue gear is still recommended. There is exposure on the upper face traversing over large cliffs so be certain about good snow stability. 

Skiers will be finishing the day on the solar aspects of Connaught; make sure those are in good condition for attempting this line.

It may be possible to ski an amazing looking line from the summit, located to the west of the ramp route.
