Leaning Tree Chute (Niagaras)
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
0.3 mi
0 ft
Another steep chute in the Niagara's area
This steep chute starts as a steep face. Partway down a mid-slope rock splits the face into two gullies. The lefthand chute is straightforward, working first around a rock on the left and then the mid-slope rock mentioned above. It is possible, but not necessary to air off this rock. Enjoy the open apron below, which only those skiing/riding Niagara's get to enjoy. Follow the gradient left through the mellow trees to another steep face above the I-5 trail to return to base.
