The Sluice

At the right corner of the bowl is a steep, curved Gully known as The Sluice. This is one of the steepest and most fun offerings in the bowl. Climb Sluice itself or climb Right Gully and traverse over. Steep turns funnel you into what’s affectionately called Chicken Rock Gully, where you can hang a right and ski into the lower bowl. Be aware that The Sluice sits above a boulder field known as The Lunch Rocks. This is not only a bad place to eat lunch due to overhead hazard, it also presents a hazard should you take a long sliding fall in The Sluice. While the Headwall is known to spit skiers out with only a bruised ego, falling down The Sluice could have much worse consequences.
