Serious of fun chutes accessible from Shirley Lake
Freeride Skiing Moderate
4 Chutes but the only ones that matter are Early, Surly, and Squirrelly. Burly Shirley is a cliff dropping line but the other 3 are skiable in normal years. Early Shirley is the easiest and, hence the name, is skiable early in the season. Squirrelly Shirley has a choke/drop half way down and decreases in drop after snowfall. It's probably the 2nd hardest out of the 4 chutes. Surly is the 2nd easiest but with a low snowpack it can be a straightline. Really fun way to shake up your ride over to Granite Chief.
