Lower Alta Map

After skiing a tight ridge line down and up silly fun features, you come to an aspect with choices to drop left or right of the tree lined ridge. Lower Alta chutes is to the left next to a rock ledge. Plummet through this open chute fast into an open bowl face and ski the fall line down to the trees. This spot is highly prone to Avalanches so check the report, go one at a time, and don’t put other nearby riders at risk. This face will eventually dump you onto the cat trail that leads you back to Grouse. But traverse right at the bottom.
