This wide chute on the Cirque Territory at Winter Park Resort is one of the best; but it comes at a cost. Traversing to this run takes between 30-45 minutes of hiking/skating to reach. However, due to the difficulty of reaching it, the snow quality can be reliably great. The chute begins in a wide area that remains mostly shaded throughout the day due to the large rock face that sits just south of the run. The chute contains several fun rock drops and jumps of all sizes. The run then meets up with Waterfall and skiers can expect to enjoy some fun and steep trees until the run flattens out at Upper Egress.
Difficulty

Low Exposure (E1)
