Profanity Chute

A true classic, and the easiest option off The Chin. A little hard to spot from the ridge, look for a faint Col between a false summit and the true summit. Ski an open chute to a dog leg, ski left down the more narrow exit chute and blend back into treeline. Follow the path of least resistance towards Taft Lodge, for the easiest exit, look for a drainage gully to the right, ski this to exit at Chin Clip.
As with all terrain on the Chin, be aware that you are stepping outside the resort boundary into the wilderness here. There are unmarked hazards such as cliffs, avalanche terrain, and miles of unmarked forest that one can easily become lost in if they don’t know where they are going. Carry a beacon, prove, shovel, water, food, warm layers, and a first aid kit, and travel with one or more partners. Most importantly, be willing to turn around if you have doubts about conditions or finding your route. It’s better to bail than become a rescue statistic.
