Turkey Chute
A popular North-Northwest facing couloir off the backside of Twenty-Five Short, Turkey Chute is long, steep, and moderately narrow, with a dogleg halfway down. Avalanche danger should be considered high and the exit is obviously quite a bit longer than that of 25 Short. You can access this zone from the Taggart Lake Trailhead. The bottom offers choices in your descent. The best way is to cut over skier's right and take another segment of chute down to the floor of Avalanche Canyon, which is your exit.
