Marmot from Tickler Saddle:
Marmot is a steep Ski Run that at the end of a fairly long uphill hike (500 vertical feet?) up from the Rookie Run saddle. The entrance to Marmot can form a little bit of a cornice, not really a drop, but just more steepness. It can be a little intimidating to non-expert skiers. The upper portion of Marmot is fairly steep, 3-D ski maps suggests it's around 40-45 degrees at the very top. The slope gradually moderated as a you ski down the Marmot ski trail.
The Marmot Ski Run lies between 13010 to the northeast and Field of Dreams to the southwest. Like many of the high altitude ski trails off The Ridge, the boundaries between these runs feel very inexact. It's really just one huge snow field that gets progressively steeper has you move from the relatively flat southside of Field of Dreams to the steep ski area northern boundary and 13010.
