Highlights

Montgomery Bowl is a fun and easily accessed area just north of North Diamond Peak and offers a slightly safer alternative than its southern neighbors on high avy days. Montgomery bowl can be quite popular on weekends, so get an early start! The Cookie Cutter Chutes lie to the south near the saddle between the North Diamond and Montgomery Bowl and Mr. Big is a slightly steeper and less frequently skied alternative to the north.

Ascent

Park at the Montgomery Pass parking lot just a couple miles from the Diamond Peaks parking lot. A well used skintrack wanders through the trees for a while until the bowl is visible from the Cabin 2 area.

Descent

Make as many laps as you like on the short ~200 ft vert bowl, then ski back to the car through the fun trees!

Access/Permits

None!
