DESCRIPTION: Finally got to check out Scott Chute! This run is special to me b/c it's infamous within my family's friend group: we have friend who's a very experienced skier who got crashed into, fell down nearly the entire chute, and had to self-arrest using his ski pole. Since then, everyone's been terrified of it 😂. Intended to check this one out last Winter but never got around to it. Snow conditions, albeit a bit sun-crusted, were still excellent. I think this is about as good of conditions as I could've hoped for on this run, during a non-powder day. The terrain itself is very interesting and varied: honestly, a bit more technical than I expected. Great run, like Chute 75, I want to come back to it during a spring day and ski it in corn snow conditions!

ENJOYMENT RATING: 8.5/10
