Home Run Chutes

Steep advanced chutes (Run #36) above the Home Run intermediate trail, serviced by the Top of the World Express. The Calgary Rocks and Edmonton Rocks; historical names from the local ski-club lexicon (1970s); are limestone outcrops under the chair that skiers navigate between; orientation points named for Alberta’s primary urban centres. Prevailing westerlies wind-load the chute guts while scouring entrance ridges (“boney”). Neighbours Grizzly Gully (Run #39), Helen’s (Run #35), and Mirkwood (Run #38). See Eagle Ridge and Frontside Chutes.
