Test Slope

Test Slope

They call this run Test Slope because it’s 37.5 degrees, which is the perfect angle for an avalanche. It’s often skied after The Meadows to get back to the bottom of the West Side of the Pass. Before you get to the bottom of The Meadows you should cut hard right to get to here. Test slope goes right under the bottom of The Roll which is a serious source of avalanche danger from above.
