“A great extra bit of vert when working towards Brighton.”

Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry

Need to Know

A convex slope in the middle, watch for loading. The Ski Utah Interconnect Tour also uses this route, so could be skied out. There is a great safety "fin" at the bottom on the run-out that offers a good vantage on to-be skiers/riders and steps you out of the way if small-med slide released.

Description

A great way to through in an extra 10-15 turns in a semi-sun sheltered slope.

History & Background

Referred to as a Chute, and technically as you ride out the bottom there it does tighten up.
