Democrat's North Face offers a great day of skinning, booting and cruiser skiing.
If you like the Tuning Forks on Torrey's or Quandary's Cristo Couloir you will love Democrat's North Face.
After a day like this I often go to Park Bar in Fairplay to celerbrate, however given COVID-19 Ryan shared some of his whisky in the parking lot instead :-)
