If you want the easiest way down Lake Chutes before heading to Snow White, this is the best option. Patrol usually does a great job of controlling the cornice and giving the skier an easy way to enter into the chute. A fall here would have the lowest consequence out of all of the Lake Chutes with the exception of Easy Street. Enjoy nice steep wide turns to the bottom and stay skier's right at the bottom.
