Frontside Chutes: Alternative

Typically, the main entrance into Frontside Chutes has a cliff-band that doesn't hold snow all that well. As a result, attempting this can leave some really nasty dents in your skis/boards unless you take some air to skip the cliffs. Instead of this, head skiers' right at the top of the run towards an alternative chute that holds snow much better and has no cliffs. This alternative is just as steep as the main chute but a bit narrower. Whenever you're ready, you can either cut back skiers' left into the trees towards the main chute or continue down this alternative. Either way, this is a really great way for those who don't want mandatory air to still ski this awesome underrated extreme chute at Vail!
