AST2 Cornice Ridge LS #4

This is the top of Cornice Ridge. If possible, meaning it is completely safe, you can look straight down the face of Cornice Ridge and show students a perfect avalanche slope. From here you have two options. 1) Head to the NE and go down the ridge to access the Grover Lakes area. This route is the safest one. However you need to manage people and make sure they do not fall off onto the slope of Cornice Ridge. 2)Follow the route straight to the North. This is the route Judson drew in this file. This route is good but it is avalanche prone. You will need to have moderate hazard to ski it with an AST2 group.
