This is Big Trees, one of the easiest runs in the Backcountry, and also one of
the most scenic, since you have to come from Great Scott Bowl. Just hang
a right around Draft Dodger Ridge instead of following the fall line down to
Source Lake after the flat area. It gives you a good view of
Unicorn (while you're still in the trees), and Hummocks and Sunshine (once
you're out of them). You can ski down to the traverse back to the lifts at any
point in the trees, or in the open bowl this picture was taken from, or you
can traverse underneath Hummocks and the Sunshine cliff band and check them
out, to join the traverse back to the lifts just past Sucker Chute underneath
Mushroom Couloir.
Ironically, the biggest trees on the mountain are not here, but in Heavenly
Trees (see the Near Backcountry pages), including one Douglas Fir that is
almost 6 feet across at chest height, which is pretty good for a tree at
4000'.
That's Bryant Peak in the background (5801').
