The Ainger Lake S Chute is another great South facing line in the Frazier/ Ainger area. It has about 800 feet of 40 feet wide skiing underneath a large rock wall. The main chute is about 35 degrees, but gets steeper if you run it out a little further to the looker's left at the top. This is a great line to catch in mid winter on a cold day, or later on in perfect corn.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
