Looking down the avalanche path shows a wall of trees that could easily kill a person or cause major trauma. This is a bad place to get caught, but also a bad place to wait for your partners to ski down from above. Unfortunately Mt Ellis doesn't have very many or very good safe zones from which you can watch your partner ski. Photo: GNFAC
