Tldr: how do you navigate the double black terrain off sacajawea?
So I tried to venture through the gates off left side of sacajawea lift (skier's right). Is it difficult to find a good drop in at the cliff line? All I noticed were arrows along the ridge pointing left. Is it easy to find yourself above a larger than expected cliff until committing to the line? In general the cliffs look really nice with good run outs but at the top, I found it more difficult to assess the size or even where I was at along it.
I wasn't really looking to drop any cliffs taller than 6-8' considering they only had about 4-6" of snow (in retrospect it was much deeper below the cliff line tho). I struggled to find a good line and kept traversing til I found what appeared to be a decent chute but ended up much rockier than expected.
Here's the route I took:
It's kinda difficult to learn about these routes because the videos kinda suck, pictures are limited, and the only good videos are of pros hucking much bigger cliffs on that ridgeline. Half the tracks are of people just traversing to the groomer. Also difficult to view from the dreamcatcher lift and even riding down underneath them, still is hard to figure out where exactly to drop in. I'm usually pretty good with navigation but this area challenged me to find a good way down without completely traversing like a little bitch or dying.
