Super steep chute that puts you right above the start of CBC trees.
Description
BE CAREFUL: As tempting as it is to follow the fresh powder skier's right after the chute, this area leads you to a cliff zone that is almost impossible to get out of. If you go straight into CBC trees make sure to read the description for CBC trees and plan accordingly.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
