We wanted to get another day of chute skiing before the storm came in later this afternoon, so we set off bright and early for Suicide chute, a line running southeast off of the south ridge of mt superior. We headed up the apron right as the snow started falling.

| Boot-packing up the chute |
It took about a half hour to get to the mouth of the chute. From there we threw the skis on the pack and boot-packed the rest of the way. The snow was deep under a strong crust, and it was hard to fight threw it to the top.

| Stoked to drop it! |
We gained the top of the chute an hour later at about 10,000 feet and threw on the skis. We were able to find some really good turns for most of the run down. Sheltered by large cliffs on both sides, the chute had collected a fair bit of wind-blown snow and didn't have as bad of a sun crust. After a lot of fun skiing down the chute, and some icy debris through the apron, we made it back to the car a little after 10.
