80s
Short steep open areas above the Current Creek turnout. There are cliffs and rocks which can be obstacles when the snowpack is low. The average slope is about 33 degrees and it maxes out around 40 degrees. The name 80s can also generally refer to the Rock Garden area to the skier’s left. This is an area of high avalanche danger.
