Yep just a two minute walk up from the road where the gate is on the west slope. Worth the walk. Very easy landing area out of the lift (just don't go too far behind you will not get back) and beautiful views of the valley. Lots of lift from both slopes below and you can fly in pretty close. I think this is the best place to fly on the west slope. Where we should for Retro if it is west wind.

I'm Irish Keith. Prone to exaggeration/delirium!
It takes me 10 minutes with a stop in the middle but that will be the sex, drugs and rock n roll taking it's toll. Should be 2 minutes for a young fella like yourself!   :D
