This is the standard approach to Rock Garden and an alternate approach to The Chin. It also makes a nice ski like. From behind the gondola, bootpack up through the trees to a steep section, the upper gully is wide and lower angle. Top out at a notch in the ridge. If heading to rock garden, follow the ridge south. If skiing Cliff Trail Gully, click in and enjoy the ride. Open turns with an alpine feel bring you back to treeline. 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.
