“A mellow chute tucked against Otis Peak.”

Driving DirectionsGPX File
Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry

Description

From the shoulder against Otis Peak, you drop down a short slope to a flat area. From there you can ski either the more mellow and wider chute to the left (shown in track) or you can ski the steeper, narrower chute on the right. From the bottom of the chute, it's a quick tour up to Lake Haiyaha to ski Mario's or Terrain Park.
