South Snowfields


Also known as The Sandbox, the South Snowfields represent the wide, bowl like area located beyond Main Gully.
Once a heinous bushwhack, dedicated efforts by Granite Backcountry Alliance have created a narrow path to access the bottom of these snowfields. The easiest option is to skin in from Gulf of Slides Trail and bootpack the final headwall, but another option is to approach by climbing Main Gully and hiking over from above. Either way, the run begins with wide open skiing, more reminiscent of a line in Colorado than in New Hampshire. Unfortunately, the angle quickly eases and the line becomes bushy. Pick your way through and descend towards the exit path.
