The hard part (not apparent in the photo) is that the sun
hits the other side of the rock above the exit. So you
pop out of whatever condition you're skiing to the sun and
for me what was breakable clear ice on top of the snow.
I can only imagine that these days it's just groomed all
the way through. There were only a couple of tracks in it
the day I skied it.
