Turkey Chute


One of the more reliable options in the Great Gulf. Turkey Chute’s northerly aspect usually allows it to last late into the season. Walk uphill to the top of Airplane Gully to the top of a high walled, funnel shaped chute, split by large rocks into the top. Pick your desired entrance and drop in. Steep turns merge the various entrances into the center of a high walled chute. Ski through the gut and out to a snowfield above a boulder field. Due to the rocks beneath this line, a fall in Turkey Chute could be very consequential. Traverse to skiers left and join the runout of Airplane Gully. Ski this to the bottom of Great Gulf and hike out. Usually Airplane has a bootpack in place for an easy exit.
