The start is approximately 1.6 km south of Sawmills Parking Area. Make your way from the road, through the open area, and cross the creek. Carry on for about 750 m through the trees, at which point the tree’s will thin out near the end of the Purple east face avalanche runout (aka ‘the dogleg’). Stay on the east side of the runout and head south for the trees. Eventually veer right and head west where it will quickly open up to a large bowl. Carry on carefully as there can often be some large cornices hanging above. As you climb higher, you may need to  use ski crampons or bootpack, as it is a solar aspect. Ski down into the bowl and out the drainage, or cut across and head for Hero’s knob.
