West Corner
Also known as Corner Pocket, it’s comprised of a few sub-zones. This terrain doesn’t have a very steep pitch, but it can slide, especially in the gullies. The wind can affect it quite a bit, but on a good day it can be a fun trip down off the ridge to the road. Small features form on the hill and you can see them from down below.This is a good zone to ski in the afternoon provided it isn't too sun affected, when you can catch a ride back to the top of the pass from traffic heading back to Denver from Keystone and A-Basin.
