Pyramid Rock Map

This is the most famous and prominent cliff in the Lake Chutes. Dropping it requires massive 10-30 foot air (depending on the location of the drop and snow pack). You can either get here by dropping Vertical Cornice (arguably the toughest skiable line off the Lake Chutes) or by dropping Crazy Ivan II and cutting hard skiers' right upon entry. Either way, this cliff is massive and really shouldn't be attempted by anyone but the most fearless of skiers. Try to gain some good speed as you approach the cliff. Generally, the faster you're going off the cliff, the easier the landing is!
