Fingers Chutes Map

Present in official trail maps years ago, these are narrow, rocky chutes that require excellent precision to navigate. Depending on the snow level, some may have mandatory airs or cliffs to ski off. To get here you'll take the Allen Peak Tram, take the left gate and hike up. A short hike later and you'll be at the fingers chutes. These are extremely difficult and should only be attempted by experts. Remember to obey and signs and ski with caution.
