View into "let’s see if it goes this early in the year" chute:

Skier’s left is blue ice, skier’s right is about 90 cm wide….time to down-climb in ski boots:

Skis on….Cue Leroy Jenkins…"Let’s Do this"…killer pow turns and no exit except for a 20 footer to less than stellar landing between to rock walls….schweet Napolean….

I made it out…my weekend has been stoked! Here’s the line looking from the bottom:
