T-Slot Map

Access T-Slot along the front traverse towards the Throne, looking for the entrance just before the track turns towards the right and meets the back traverse. The steep upper face above the narrow slot that gives this run its name rolls over toward a rocky buttress. Scout your line in advance. Straightline the slot as it is too narrow to make turns. Below the slot, a few trees dot the face, otherwise enjoy this hard-to-access section of OO Right. The entire run is only 500 vertical feet.
