The entrance to this short, narrow chute is guarded by a leaning tree. Quite narrow at the top even without the tree, the entrance requires a vertical drop into the chute which varies in height based on snow depth. The chute drops sharply onto an open face below. This chute is rarely skied, but can offer some fun access to the unpopular glade below. Enter mature timber, watching out for tree wells. Follow the gradient back to the groomed outrun.
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
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
