Ok, so 5/10 minuets hike out of cypress if then ski at right angles to sky chair then there are signs saying do not cross steep terrain.

1. Are those there because bellow is like rock gardens and 100% gradients or is it completely kl and just typical bullshit signs?
2. Does it link up with Collins or cat-track?

instead of hiking u should just ride sky chair on a pow day
when u go left off the chair stay to ur very right and duck under the ropeline as close to the chair as u feel comfortable(basically same as topgun but u get fresh tracks)
no need to hike u can lap that chair all day and get fresh tracks just dont go tooooo far to the right

make sure u take the same exit as top gun since u need to connect back with the main run before the very bottom or u will be fucked

No worries,
I'm thinking of skinning up the back side this weekend.
