Backcountry Skiing Route

Crazy cliffside chute
A line easily spotted by the Schlasman's chair, but very little done. The actual chute itself is not very hard at all, but the exposure and complexity of getting over to the area to be able to ski it is crazy. I recommend hiking halfway up to Saddle Peak, then skiing directly down. you will go through some small trees before making it to a clearing right before the chute. Ski almost to the edge then make a sharp left turn and you're good to go. Don't take my word for it though, go with somebody who is familiar with the area.
