Powershell - resolve path outside of a PSDrive alias

Question

I have a very long path name which I created a PS-Drive for

new-psdrive -name blah -psprovider filesystem -root c:/foo/bar/bizz/bazz/grozz/grizz/blah/blow

I need to pass a file into an external tool which is having trouble resolving the path across the psdrive path. How do I get the path to a file (say directly underneath the blah directory) bit with the full path?
