Christmas Chute

[SnowRidersChannel]

sounds icy,

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

Good God, I'm not sure you could pay me enough money to try that thing. It almost reminds me of Tuckerman's Ravine in New Hampshire. Some of my Old Man's buddies at Dartmouth College were on their ski team, and they used to make regular runs at Tuckerman's, and in the Andes (Where if you fall, you basically die). I'm not going to call you guys suicidal, but I honestly don't know how you do it (Plus you have rock outcrops, whereas here on the EC we have trees. I'm not sure which is worse).

That chute is awesome

[rasmasyean]

That's a...

NO FALL ZONE!

Warning! Falling may result in an uncontrolable slide that may lead to permanent injury or death. Only expert skiiers in top physical condition with well maintained equipment allowed beyong this point!

i guess im a suicidal maniac

It's always ICY because it's always shaded at the top so all it takes is TRUST in your SHARP edges. It's always good (enough for me) as long as it's not closed!

this past season on my last run i dropped the rocks at the top and was unaware that I clipped the back of my binding on it and snapped it in half and i couldn't figure out why i couldn't stay on my feet (especially on the vast bottom half). The snow was like mashed potatos and i figured I was just tired/out of shape and a crappy boarder. I was relieved to find it was equipment failure not me :-)

It's a good video but you can bomb it way faster. The ice isnt even blue, and it loooks like there was some nice Pow at the bottum

[ufp1701]

Yeah, I suppose I could have if I were suicidal or a moron....LOL!

After this drop, the Ski Patroller filming me closed it down due to the conditions and danger.

[kkuurrkkaa]

Hey... i dont appreciate being called suicidal, LOL what time of year was it? there was about a month were it was blue ice and giant Moguls

[MrChristafa]

Thanks for sharing Snowolf.

i remember a friend and i getting 2'nd tracks on it 3 years ago,he went to far over and started an avalanche,was scary

[responder12345]

It's always like that, I think I've only been on it one time when it was fresh, and that lasted only one run. It takes about 10 people to scrape down it before its pure ice.

[rcoster38]

that aint ice, try skiin the beast coast

(obviously theres not much terrain like that in the east though, outside of tucks)

[vivelegolfethockey]

Sounds icy, a slope that steep is impossible when it is icy, especially for snowboarders

[futurechampion2]

haha

[blahf9325]

i've snowboarded for 4 years, and i still can't get christmas chute right. but it's really not as scary. i fell on my face once and just slid down the rest of it on my stomach. some guy said he was gonna put it on youtube. :P

[francmeister420]

dayum super icey for AK>>

[patters444]

Ack! That sound of the board edge on ice....I hate it, I can only imagine what it's like on a slope that steep. I'm cringing ;o) Good job though, looks like you enjoyed yourself!
