Northwest slope below Park Mountain. It receives little if any sun, but the angle is steep and the powder fresh. The views of Mount Owen and Odaray Mountain basking in the sun might warm you up. Start toward the rear of the cabins and head up small open slopes towards the McArthur Cutoff. Continue south for the north shoulder of Park Mountain crossing a short section of low angled avalanche terrain. Park Mountain has distinct ice hanging on its northwest face. Once you top out onto the shoulder, it is hard to miss. The northwest slope below this ice is your run and can be avalanche prone as any good steep slope is.
