A steep hidden glade, Lucky Shot Chutes offers a nice alternative to the third face of Lucky Shot. There are two chutes, each one steepest at the top. Enter at the top of the knoll beyond Little Portillo. The chute on the right offers an open run to the bottom of Bear Pits. Exit via the cat track above the creek. The left chute turns into a glade. It is possible to exit through the trees on the left to hit the lower part of Lucky Shot.
