While shorter, this portage is quite a bit more difficult than the one on the American side, especially if the conditions are wet. The mud on this portage is quite bad, and all-but-unavoidable. It's also quite steep. The only thing it has going for it is easier landings.

Thick, deep, suck the shoe off your foot mud here. Stick to the US portage if possible.

Good landings on either end, that's the good news. A luge run otherwise. OK when dry, although almost always a deep U-shape. If it's wet, tighten up your boot laces before you attempt this. Two or three deadfalls to deal with when I did this one.
