[Affix Snow]

Havent skied it yet, but one of the best on the EAST is Dodges Drop (center)

[skiitsbetter]

I am not sure if this one is skiable, picture taken last year, but it looks a lot more filled in now (center of the picture)...

Not much of a couloir but fun as it's unique and very hard to find. The crappy pic is due to a disposable 35mm.

Granite Arch, Jackson.

very skiable, but long walk into it, you have to go thru simpson valley and up another one.

rocky crux in the middle, but skiable.

Not necessarily THE best, but a good one, and looking up at it today reminded me of this thread. Somebody tried to go up it, but it looked like they got turned around at the ice choke. Ruby chute, taken 2-7-07
