...Classic Wasatch Descents pt. 2
Baldy Chutes - Yeah, Yeah. So this is within the boundaries of Alta Ski Area but they still make me giddy like a schoolgirl when I can catch them open up several days after a storm has blown through, or better yet, pre and post season. Main Chute is a classic and mellow line while Little and Dog Leg push the steep scale a bit. Perla's isn't quite couloir status while Tree Chute is just plain bananas (if even skiable) unless its a big snow year and an avy hasn't ripped Baldy's face off mid-season. Not many ski areas give you access to chutes of this magnitude. (Big Sky another example) This is just another reason why Alta is second to few in the world of inbounds steep skiing.
