The north side of Jepson Peak (in the San Bernardino Mountains) is split into Big Draw and Little Draw. Which of those draws is Jepson Bowl? I don't think that Jepson Bowl includes both draws, but I guess that's also a possibility.

Hey Sam, I've always been under the impression that the Jepson Bowl is the area that you were in over the weekend. Roughly from the North Ridge westerly towards and including the chutes and over to the saddle west of Jepson....if that makes sense. I think one of your photos from your blog shows the bowl nicely. The Big Draw I thought was between San Gorgonio and Jepson, east of Jepson's north ridge and really steep north eastern chutes and rocky face.

Thanks Mike. That's what I thought, too. But I've heard otherwise. An "official" map labeling Jepson Bowl might settle it.

Jepson Bowl=Big Draw

With all due respect Dave, you are wrong.

Ok, from my understanding, The big draw is NE of Jepson peak, sitting between San G. Maybe you were trying to say the Little Draw is Jepson Bowl, which is correct.

The Little Draw, or Jepson Bowl sits between Jepson and Lil' Charlton.

Speaking of The Little Draw, I am skiing it this weekend, anybody going to be up in the SGW?
