Ainger Lake Tree Chutes Map

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.
