A series of seven steep chutes through trees and small cliffs, Last Chance Chutes are not individually named. Again, the most straightforward chute is directly beneath the chair. Working left, the chute below the main gut of Stockholders is the most popular. The breakover is often pocked with rocks. Find the opening in the trees on the right that requires a ten foot drop to the steep slope below. Working left, the chutes become progressively more challenging. Watch for rocks.
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
Close to help in case of emergency.
