Highlights

Dave’s Wave is ridden 100s of times per season and avalanches approximately 3-4 times each season. This was the first avalanche in the path for the 07/08 winter season.

The run is clearly visible from A-Basin Ski Area, and US Route 6. If you see ski or board tracks in the area, there is a bit of a “rad” component to seeing them.
