Chicken chute is a wide chute off of gate 5. To find it, follow the cat-track off of gate 5. You may have to walk up from the cat-track to check where you are at certain times. Chicken chute can be found by looking for the big rock next to it known as Boo Rock.
Description
Chicken chute is a more popular line in Huckleberry Bowl so you may not find the same untouched powder as other places in the area. But it is still a really fun line. Once your out of Chicken chute, you are rewarded with an amazing bowl with a few natural features to send it off of.
Once your in the flat area of the bowl, look for the cat-track, known as Rerun out.
Difficulty
Severe

Medium Exposure (E2)

Away from help but easily accessed.
