Miss Piggy
With an average steepness of 48 degrees and a fatal cliff
drop at the bottom, the exit ramp is a must out of Miss Piggy. The exit
ramp/traverse into Chimo's is about half way down and is tricky in its own
right.
First descent was by Ben Stockey solo in 1999.
Miss Piggy was the sight of a near miss in 2000. The first
one in triggered an avalanche after a bad stability assessment. Luckily, he
hung up on the only tree and was saved from plummeting 350 metres, the bottom
75-metres being a cliff!
