Backcountry Skiing Journal From:


CALIFORNIA | LAKE TAHOE BASIN | CATHEDRAL PEAK, CAMP CHUTES

Darkstar: March 22, 2010 Uphill: 2,000 ft. | Downhill: 2,000 ft.

Finally tagged two lines I've been wanting to ski for a while today. The "Camp Chutes" (the only name I've ever heard from anyone) are seldomly skied, even by locals, partially because access is a bitch, but also because it's really difficult to get either lines in good conditions. Even today, we found porn snow on the north aspects, and complete mank on the s-se. However, both couloirs were a pleasure to be walled in, and they're totally worthy if you can put all the steps together. The skinny one sees very little traffic, but they're both super fun, and can also be thrown in with a trip to the south side of Tallac.
