A very steep, narrow and challenging chute
Freeride Skiing Severe
Corner Chute is probably the most narrow and least defined chutes in the Thunder Saddle area. It's treeline section resembles Oops & Poops in that it's a very hidden and often overlooked corridor. The alpine section is very similar in nature to Bogie's Slide's alpine section. The difference is this 9is slightly less steep and much more wide open. This run truly gets difficult once you hit the narrow trees! Please note that the run will begin in some trees and then emerge into an open bowl-esque section. When this happens, be very careful of a massive cliff that's below you (although it can be covered in the highest of snow years). The best solution for this is to go around it skiers' right and then cut back skiers' left for the last stretch of the chute.
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
