T7's southeast gully (aka The Fun Fun Gully) is nothing but smiles and giggles. This quick hit from 550 should be a Red Mountain Pass classic, however I haven't seen many people ski it... doesn't bother me a bit!

At treeline the first steep pitch presents itself. Depending on conditions it can be skinned or booted

After the first steep pitch the terrain briefly mellows before the second steep pitch
![T7 southeast gully ski 04]()
The second steep pitch could probably be skinned however I think booting is easier

Instead of taking the gully to the top, we skinned/booted a short couloir on climbers right
