Suicide Chute

Andrea skiing down Suicide Chute aka "Country Lane"

Chuting season continues... Suicide Chute has been looking good from the Alta parking lot recently, so we figured we better ski it before it melted out. This morning we decided to head up in the morning before work and check it out. The snow was firm enough to allow a quick bootpack up the chute, and the strong sun softened things up enough for the descent. It was a fun little adventure to start the day and set the tone for the weekend.

We are having a really, really fun month of May!

This photo is from last week, but it gives you the scope of Suicide Chute. It isn't nearly as steep as it looks.
