Anesthesia Chute 5 Map

The hardest runs at Park City are what I call the Anesthesia Chutes off of Fantasy Ridge. They are barely ever open, but when they are, the chutes are adrenaline-inducing thrill rides. They only open on deep powder days when the rocks and exposed terrain are covered. Chute 5 has a similar entrance and width to number 4, but there is only one option for entry instead of two. You can traverse in above a tree and turn into the narrow chute. There is about 50 feet of narrow steepness until it widens out into Dutch Hollow at the bottom.
