Ahh Chute Map

This is a hidden chute with fantastic scenery but It is also no joke. The chute narrows as you decent and on low snow years requires a short straightline to exit the chute. There are cliffs below the exit so take caution. Video of the chute here: https://youtu.be/GlVTeBf2Ag?si=iDGZn-gEjlbxleI1
