Steep but the most accessible of the lines along Chainsaw Ridge
Freeride Skiing Severe
Bushrat is a steep and fun line along Chainsaw Ridge and is usually the first one people dare to try. The whole ridge builds a cornice but Bushrat normally has enough traffic to make the entrance constantly visible. The entrance is a small gap that drops onto a spine. Once you've dropped in, make sure you stop, as it will either land you on top of Bushrat Shoulder or a cliff band, and you don't want to find out the wrong way! Bushrat is a diagonally left, fairly wide chute that leads down to Couloir Extreme. The snow usually stays pretty good even several days after a snowfall. Be careful of traverse lines and avalanche/cornice debris in the bowl, especially as it flattens out. Cutting left with the traverse lines under Bushrat and Bushwhip gives you access to Faller's Pillow.
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.

Worth the traverse, the snow is often deep here and there's a couple of good cliffs to jump off too.
