McGill Slide Paths

Two adjacent slide paths dropping off the windward side of the McGill Shoulder, skied as steep chutes with similar character. Usual access is from the established McGill Shoulder uptrack, traversing in near the sub-peak to reach the rollover into the lines.

From the exits it is often possible to traverse back skier’s left to regain the uptrack around 1,600 m for fast laps, but this works best right after a storm when coverage is smooth. Being on the windward side, new snow can get stripped and older snow can be hammered or firm; these ski best with a recent refresh before they get tracked out.
