Does anyone know the name of this couloir in the picture below?

We've been calling it 'U-First', due to the obvious 'U' shape at the top along the ridgeline. It is a great ski. We noticed some old boot pack tracks. Have all of those lines on that face been skied? Some would require a rappel to exit at the bottom.

We took off from the Agnes TH at 5:45 last Sat. We booted all the way up the avy path on the NW facing slope to the top of Paradise Bowl. We took a quick run down the bowl and traversed over to the line. 'U-First' is a short hike and only took us 35 minutes to boot up.

It's a very aesthetic line from the top.

Lots of lines to be skied in the Snow Lake Cirque.

Looking down...

1/3 down...

Exiting at the bottom...

The top of the line we booted up to get up to Paradise...

The snow, actually snirt, was pretty heavy at the end. We were back at the truck by noon.
