Report from December 31, 2025

2 chutes left in my 8-chute project on the wall.

The 2 left were untouched.

I rode the Kicking Horse lifts and absorbed the spectacular dawn.

The first chute was intimidating.

Steep, sluff-filled, and raw.

I made a handful of turns, ripped out a sizeable sluff, and had to plaster myself into the right wall.

It passed quickly, and I carried on working the left side of the chute to avoid the sluff track.

The snow was delectable.

Back up.

Finally, chute #8 of 8.

This chute was on the shorter side, held great snow, and allowed for speed.

No big sluff, no need to stop.

Right to the bottom, where I encountered a plethora of traversing tracks coming from a common route.

Survived the rumble strip and headed home happy 🙂

Thanks, BC!
