Boundary Chutes Map

East Facing shots down to Emigrant Lake. From Chair 15, follow the boundary line of Fawn Ridge and then beyond the boundary, descend down one of the many short chutes above Emigrant Lake. Being directly East facing, the snow can be extremely variable. After descending a chute, you will encounter a traverse line that heads to the left and back to the resort.
