Airplane Bowl

Another excellent offering. Airplane Bowl is longest, cleanest line in Oakes Gulf. It’s the eastern most line in the gulf, making approaching from Tuckerman Ravine a logical option. However you approach, begin at the top of a funnel shaped snowfield to skiers left of The Buttress. Open turns quickly become a long, consistent hallway, similar to The Fingers in Gulf of Slides. Once at the bottom of the gully, either reascend the way you came, or skin to climbers left, crossing a drainage and skiing back up to Robinson’s Neighborhood.
