The Tram Face - Alternatives

While these cliffs are not officially part of the Main Tram Face (similar in location to Sluice Way), they're still an enjoyable and extreme approach to skiing the Tram Face. Unlike lines off the main Face (which are leagues above most runs at Palisades Tahoe - only comparable to Eagle's Nest), these are similar (difficulty-wise) to some of the toughest runs at Squaw such as The Fingers, The Palisades (specifically Extra and Main), and Granite Peak. The difference is that these are technically out of bounds and much longer. The skier who's able to ski 99% of the inbound runs at Palisades Tahoe should be able to make the arduous hike to ski these chutes!
