Suicide chute attempt in the morning, foothills by night 1/16

At the mouth of Suicide Chute


Work got canceled for me today due to lack of business at The Canyons so this was a green light to head into the mountains and check some ski lines off our list. A group of us got together in the morning and decided to give suicide chute a go. We skinned up the south face of Superior and got up to the mouth of the chute to realize that the wind loading from last night was a lot worse then expected. We had to make the tough decision to call it and instead we skied a gully coming off of little Superior. It wasn't what we set out to do that morning but we still got some good turns in.

After our morning adventure we decided to head down to the foothills to take adventure of all the low elevation snow. We ended up skiing a small peak to the south east of the U. We got to the top just in time to watch the sun set. We enjoyed some great views and some fresh snow on the way down.
