Crossing the creek the hard way (Heavenly's Firebreak)

[rittenhouse1592]

haha whats the more popular and recommended way? im going to heavenly this season and im gonna be doing a lot of backcountry... are there any good cliffs or steep angles on firebreak? and firebreak is the one that can lead you back to the gondola base right?

There was a spot where you could ski down and jump over the creek just above this area. There is some steep here and there, but generally speaking it's not too steep... not at steep as Mott or Killebrew canyons. Yes firebreak does lead back down to the Gondola (after a short walk).
