Overview
If 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.

Drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon till you see an avalanche sign that reads TANNERS SLIDE PATH. Go past this first sign and continue up till you hit the large bend in the road. Flip a U-turn here and park just above the second avalanche sign.
