Go to the Caldera if you like engaging skiing in awe inspiring places.
One approach for the Caldera is to skin up Sacred Buffalo on the south side of the Caldera
Another approach is from Buffalo's proper summit. Looking down the Caldera from Buff's summit

The Hidden Couloir (H) (aka Sacred Couloir) and Silver Pick (aka Silver Dollar) are accessed from Sacred. Justin enjoys some cruiser turns enroute to H.

If you are still hungry you can use the ramp on the right to access more lines on Buff proper

If you have had your fill and just want to head to AJ's... you can ski directly out of the bottom of the Caldera
The handy work of Justin, Jeremy and Alex
