Gothic Spoon

A due South facing couloir off Gothic Mountain, The Spoon is a dangerous zone with high avalanche risk. The funnel shape acts as a terrain trap and a slide in there wouldn't go well for you. Be sure it's filled in from top to bottom if you're going to ski it and don't go in too late in the spring when the sun has been on it all day.
