Red square has some ok 10-12 footers to flat. China bowl is almost entirely composed of a cliff band. It's a big mtn. there are cliffs everywhere. Pillows can be found in-bounds to some extent, and are plentiful out of bounds. We do have a very sketchy snowpack that is not very kind to those who don't pay very close attention to the changing conditions that occur throughout the season (ob).

pretty nonexistent inbounds, maybe a few around blue sky basin. most of the good stuff is OB though.

Lots of good inbounds and outbounds. Just gotta know where to get it, if you pm me I'll let you know, if you don't I hope it doesn't show it more than it has in these threads.

Rasputin's revenge has some good 20-30 footers. Theres a really nice 30 footer OB somewhere in Blue Sky, that's all I'll give you.

Step one: Buy beer.

step two: put beer in pack.

step three: get on lift with said pack, preferably with someone who looks like they know what they are doing and where they are going.

step four: offer beer in exchange for the privilege to try to keep up.


This has gotten me to the goods many times.

Step five: check out the Vail sidecountry article in this year's Freeskier backcountry edition.
