Butt Crack


A nice glade off Sunny Spruce. This was supposedly cut by a crew of Johnson students. While it’s short and requires a creek crossing to exit, it makes up for it with wide open skiing and a high likelihood of fresh turns.
Ski to the first turn of West Run and drop into the obvious drainage. Follow this down to the creek, cross it and sidestep up to a small parking area on the Notch Road.
Be aware that skiing into the notch, even in non avalanche terrain is a serious endeavor, and many skiers have been rescued as a result of getting lost or cliffed out in this terrain. Carry a backpack with enough food, water and layers to survive a night out, and don’t go unless you have a plan.
