Chute 75 alternate usually has an easier entry than the main Chute 75. It faces north-east and merges with Chute 75 about half way down Chute 75"s length. Ski down Rock Garden and bear right at the top after a few hundred yards. You will come to a ridge line and Chute 75 Alternate is below you. There will be a cliffs on the left that get bigger as you go down. The ridge line on your right can be rocky. As Chute 75 Alternate narrows, it merges with Chute 75, which you join further down. This is a fun, steep chute that can get some big bumps.
