The Nose

Overview

• Rated:  ...unless it's well filled in with snow.
• Type of trail:  Steep, ungroomed, some cliffs to watch out for.  
• Looking down the Ant Hill, off to the right on the ridge of East Rim, a cat track can be seen.  The lower third of the Ant Hill should be straight-lined because the track initially has an upward pitch.  Ski along the ridge and the Nose will be straight ahead.  It is important to not go too far left if you want to avoid cliffs.
• The name Performance is because the snow slides (performs) regularly here.  Patrol blasts to make it safer.

From the east.  The ridge area is what we are talking about.  Note that if you head too far to skier's left on the ridge, you'll find yourself in some extreme terrain!
