This is the bowl that lilduke Jeff and myself got a few avy's in earlier this season. BCAV and I got it to all go 3 or 4 weeks ago. wall to wall. we call it belly button bowl coz it has a noal in the middle quite high up the bowl and its 150ft high. quite the safety. I've never seen a 360 degree avy, but it did. sh!ty vis that day so pic's sucked.

Yikes! Big risk, small reward area there. Looks like it all drains to the same terrain trap. Not for the faint of heart..

and calling all arm chair quarter backs ???

no it drains into several meadows. there are 2 separate creeks flowing out of it and both have meadow after meadow before creeks even start. the trees can easily be riden thru from anywhere to anywhere. but clearly ye'all know best, so best stay away from my terrain eh?

so this spot looks like an easy climb eh?

203_zps6c6da390.jpg

looks easy at the top too eh?

205_zpse181bd9f.jpg

this pull looks super easy eh?
