Awesome Chute

[Downtown]

Some friends of mine hitting a local mountain here in Utah.

Whoa!

 

[SBrown]

Well then.

So, I actually can imagine skiing that, but where did you put your skis on?

 

[Philpug]

Holy cow... just holy cow...impressive.

Your friends are insane.

 

[Willy]

Now that's what I'm talking about....nice shots! That's some serious stuff...

"Dream Chute" would be my nightmare.

 

[Doug Briggs]

That is a pretty sketch entrance. Nicely done.

 

[John O]

Wow. Now that is some impressive stoke.

 

[James]

Where were the photos taken from?

 

[Ken_R]

Yeah, nightmare chute is a better name. One slip and welcome to your nightmare.

These guys are more experienced hikers than they are skiers if you can believe it. As father of five now, I wouldn't head up the cliff to the right, but I'd have no issue putting my skis on the crest to the left of the hikers. and then side stepping up to the top portion of the main skiable face. And since I'm a little more old school I'd probably knock out more turns on that awesome snow, rather than the sweeping longer ones.

Believe it or not, these guys take turns taking the photos and climbing to some other areas to get their footage. They have great cameras and other technology to support them. They are in phenomenal aerobic shape and hike better than they ski.

The first turn is the hardest.

Nice.

I can definitely believe it.

 

[coskigirl]

Well then.

That was exactly my question.

Very cool photos.

 

[James]

Do they use climbing gear?

 

[Doug Briggs]

Now I see how they negotiated the top. There is snow being hidden to the skier's left by the rock. Still sketch, but they didn't have to navigate right then left around the rocks near the top. A ballsy ascent and descent at the top just the same.

The photography is great, as well.
