Big Tree Chute is the lowest skier's right hand boundary of Third Bowl through a natural chute between trees and rocks.
Freeride Skiing Severe
Big Tree Chute is found when you hang to the skier's right after Smuggler's Knob in Lower Third Bowl. The terrain naturally forms a chute between a small rock, handrail-type, feature on your left and trees and the rope line on your right. As you pass under the big tree at the choke of the chute you'll be funneled by the rope line on your right into Lower Third Bowl and onto the Third Bowl / Phoenix Exit back to East River Express.
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
