Z-Chute is a small chute off of gate 5 followed by a little bit of tree and bowl skiing. To get here, follow the cat-track right off the gate. When coming down the ridge, look for the first tree line. You can also look for the big rock right next to it, known as Boo Rock
Description
Once your in, Z-Chute is a really fun, fast chute that is typically untouched. After the chute, there is some more good snow in the trees that follow. Once your out of the trees, it is a really fun open bowl to play around in.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
