Cliff Chute

The Fish Creek area is a legendary side country canyon parallel to Steamboat Resort. It's home to some of the most accessible extreme terrain in all of Colorado! Zone -0.5 is an insane part of Fish Creek that is only accessible by either taking Zone 0 Alternative, or one of the Upper Zone -1 chutes. The one line in Zone -0.5 is known as "Cliff Chute" and is seldom skiable. Though if you do catch it on a good year, you'll find a ultra steep, but enjoyable line. Eventually, you'll merge onto the Perimeter trail which will take you to the bottom of the canyon where you must skin/hike out. Note on some years, you may be required to rappel down certain sections.
