great pix. pix don't show steep it really is. interestingly looking at the trail sign for king cornice, it's only rated a blue/black, yet depending on the snow it's a 5-10ft drop off the cornice into a run steeper than upper o at k.
your trek across the east wall brings memories of a similar trek we had a few years ago on a pow day. that scar on palli face is obviously after the 2nd day's blasting.
obviously not as sad as the tragedy, but it is sad to see all that snow blown down the hill.

Dropping into Ovation headwall late season this year was easily a 10-15 foot drop just to avoid the rock outcroppings that stretched across most of the top. There was one spot you could drop in, just skiers left of all the scrub trees on skiers right, and you had to land it in firm moguls...skiadikt wrote:depending on the snow it's a 5-10ft drop off the cornice into a run steeper than upper o at k.
Definitely not a blue/black rating...
