Near the top of Secret Chute, take a high traverse to skiers left towards the obvious shoulder. The traverse enters a designated cliff area, and gets fairly close to the edge. Keep your nerves, go slow and stay high, until you pass a single conifer tree. The line comes into view now. The Curl offers steep, exposed turns down a ramp. The exit usually requires a mandatory air or short straightline into the bowl below. Ride it out and enjoy some nice turns back to Blue Line.
