OverviewIf avalanche conditions are absoultly stable and your in the mood for some epic Wasatch skiing than Tanners Gulch is just for you. The climb (over 3,000 verticle) can be quite the workout, but the turns down are well worth the effort. This gulch is also used as an express route to Sunrise Peak, The SLC Twins and Mt. Dromedary.
