Northeast Chute Delivers The Corn
After a fun evening in Boulder I headed back home for a good nights sleep. I had made plans though to try and squeeze one in before I had to get the kids from school. We had originally been looking at a steep north facing line but with how hard the snow was I was worried about skiing a line like that with a large cliff in the middle and then also having to throw rope work into the mix. The other day I had been eying up Ganley and its Northeast Chute. The line goes right from the frontage road and climbs roughly 3500 to the summit. The last time I was in the area the snow banks were pretty big and parking wasn't possible. This time I thought it would be doable. So I met Gary at the Bakersville parking lot and he jumped in the truck for a short drive down to the "trailhead"...

TakeMeToYourSummit	Looks like... 4/28/2014 6:13am ...a fun day out! I really like that close-up of Torreys.
Elliot	3500 vert road shot! 4/28/2014 1:14pm My type of skiing, gotta check this one out.
killingcokes	Total Vert 4/28/2014 2:38pm So the total vert is about 3500'. From the top of the line you're looking at about 2800 vert. The bottom of which is thick aspens. It's still a great line though.
