Take the East Wall Traverse out as far as you can go, keep going, and look for a sign marked "Tree Chutes." From here, you can usually spot a boot pack to hike these chutes to the top of the ridgeline. Take the short, but steep hike up to the ridge, enjoy the view, and then pick your line. Enjoy a nice run out to the bottom and through the trees back to the piste.
