Highlights

A very safe alternative off Glory. A longer traverse leads to very mellow slopes on the west side of Glory and leads you into the Coal Creek drainage.

Ascent

From the top of Teton Pass follow the standard Glory Boot Pack directly across from the parking lot.

Descent

Head Northwest from the summit and Skirt the top of Little Tuckerman's, pass unskiabowl, go behind the grea white hump and continue a little further until you come to some avalanche safe glades. Ski down and follow the Coal Creek Drainage out to the Coal Creek parking lot. You will need to shuttle or hitch a ride back to your car.

Access/Permits

The top of the pass is always crowded so park at the coal creek lot and hitch up.
