Description

To get to this chute (that is similar in difficulty to Expert Chutes #1-7 rather than Expert Chutes #8, #9, and #10), continue hiking up The Expert Chutes Trail to the summit of this peak.

Drop off the summit cornice (should be a very small cornice if any) and head skiers' left away from the tempting wide-open bowl Last Chance.

Once you're in the main part of the chute, there are two different options.

Skiers' left is far wider and the preferred way to ski this chute.

Skiers' right is slightly tougher, much narrower, and requires a short straight-line.

Continue to follow this path around the two rock-bands and enjoy the awesome turns all the way to the bottom!
