The Professor
A notorious avalanche chute across the highway from Arapahoe Basin. This can slide big during times of bad conditions, which are frequent, and can potentially cover the road. Be wary of a huge cornice that forms along the top which can break off underneath you. Access this line from the ridge to the North when the timing is right and conditions are safe. Also known as "The Little Professor," especially by the CAIC.

Cut left to the switchback on the road instead of skiing all the way down to the bottom. You’ll thank me.
