General Comments/Likes

This feature’s name describes it best, it is a Great White Hump. Located just north of Glory and little tucks, It offers a nice long powder run. Steepness is great and the runout to leaving the area can get difficult. We accessed with a sled and hiked to the top. Can be cliff filled if snow is low. Lots of fun and great continuous skiing.

Dislikes

Parking can be tough, and getting out can be difficult in low snow.
