Big Bad Wolf is an incredible ski line in an incredible setting from the summit of Red Peak. There are great views of Red, East Thorn and the Zodiac Traverse. It does however take some effort to get to... especially in June when you have to hike both ways with a heavier pack. In addition to the main BBW line there are plenty of other ski options in this basin if you want to do laps. However earlier in the season might be a better time to take advantage of this so you aren't too beaten down on the hike out.

I have also skied this line a few more times with Jeremy, Justin and Alex Neal via Sacred Buffalo and Eccles with a shuttle between Willow Creek and the standard Buffalo TH. Here are the stats for the last time on this route.
