Ski Sunshine to the Pioneer Easy Out (a roadcut on skiers left).

Stand where the Pioneer Easy Out meets Sunshine and wave-off with Pioneer (who will be at the other end of the Easy Out).

Ski Sunshine to Snake base.

Wait for a Western sweeper to announce, "Western sweeps are clear to Rocking R."

If there is a Super, someone should call, "Snake Top, Snake sweeps are clear to the base of Snake. Come on down." Otherwise call, "Crest Top, Snake sweeps are down and clear."
