Has anyone been there and have line suggestions? Heading that way in 2 weeks and would like to go in with a gameplan so we don't miss something worth hitting or get stuck/cliffed out somewhere.
Thanks

It's been a while, I went back in 2007, skiied in on ARV's and had a blast- back then i believe you had to have a guide with your group, I think they've loosened the restrictions since. We did some awesome lines off of waterfall and mandatory air, the north face in the colorado chute and 100 acre woods was fun, and we did a lot on the west face. just gonna depend on how the snow conditions are, everything is probably fantastic, but some runs might be more accessible than others. Be ready to hike your ass off.

Hell yeah, thanks for the reply! We're ripping it unguided as it comes with our Loveland season pass and adding a heli drop, not sure if the drop is guided though. I'm assuming it's an easy place to get lost if unguided? On the map it looks like there's vague instructions on how to get back to base. Is there any signage?

I don’t remember there being much, if any signage: take that with a grain of salt, it’s been 18 years. The guide we were with navigated us via landmarks for the most part.

For the north and west faces, your boundary is gonna end at the road- they had a pickup truck that ran as a shuttle at that point, probably similar now.
