The Ainger Lake Tree Chutes are really fun lines if you are looking for something a little less committing in the Fairy Lake area. There are 3 of them, and they all hold cold, shady snow. These lines can often be out of the wind when the upper bowls are getting hammered. They are all pretty wide, about 50 feet give or take, and roll over no more than about 37 degrees at the steepest.
Difficulty
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
