Description
Mole's Chute is a very difficult and committed line off the Tram Face. The line is often not even skiable due to the variable snow conditions that Palisades Tahoe suffers from. But if the conditions are right and you're an extreme free rider, this is an awesome run off the Tram Face to ski!
