Glissading on Gardner Headwall!
Each First Session at Elk Creek Ranch, and rare Second Sessions when the snow permits, we load up the Ranch vans and drive to the highest point on the Beartooth Highway. At over 10,000 feet the mountains feature large glaciers. Gissading is basically sliding down the steep slopes on your belly, back, or t**h.
