Lower Parachute starts under Upper Parachute as it is joined by Mushroom Cliffs Bowl and Close Call. You'll have Solar Plexus in the trees and pillows on your left and a traverse over through Good Luck Glades to your right. There is a main tree chute though Lower Parachute with a tighter chute on the skier's right. Both chutes open up to a few medium and easily avoidable or hittable pillows mostly on your left in an open pow field as Third Bowl naturally benches out above Lower Third Bowl and the Solar Junkyard.
