Highlights

Steep Treed skiing close to sisters. Although the lower elevation can provide problematic snow coverage.

Ascent

Follow McKenzie Highway until it is closed. Take a snowmobile up the closed road and start skinning about a mile and a half before the trailhead to cut some time. Head south as you make your way up. Eventually you will end up on top of the Eastside trees.

Descent

Ski the face and then follow your ascent trail home.

Access/Permits

A snowmobile makes it a lot more feasible and enjoyable.
