Update

“Fun dog-leg couloir with a spicy entrance that keeps the crowds away”

— Ben Johnson

Need to Know

You'll probably need to rappel or do an exposed downclimb to get into the top of this route
GPX File — Driving Directions

Description

A fun alternative to Chute The Moon or Turkey Chute, this couloir adds a little pucker factor with a sporty entrance, steeper skiing, and a narrower line that meets up with the bottom section of Chute the Moon.

Approach via Twenty-Five Short and take obvious ramp Northeast of the entrance to Chute The Moon.

Descending the "Exit Couloir" in sloppy spring conditions. A line out on the face to the right is passable in all but the most meager snow years as well.
