South Couloir - Sacred
Partners: Solo, Jeremy Miller, Justin Kutchta, Alex Neal
3200ft - 7.1m
TH: Buffalo Mountain Trailhead
If you are looking for an alternative route on Buffalo, the south couloir on Sacred is a good one. However when the couloir is done the ski out isn't my favorite. Quality skiing to work ratio is low on this route. Combining this line with Eccles or a bigger day over to Red for Big Bad Wolf are good link ups.
Stan Wagon reffers to this line as 'David's Wave'... not to be confused with Dave's Wave by A-Basin.
