Pa Kap neat Slip, U58 Dats ee 3 Bnet BRIDGE acing RECREATION ROUNDUP Eaaa a It’s 2 am. and backcountry skier Andrew McLean has six hours to kill before he hasto get to his day job at Black Diamond Equipment. His idea of a productive morningis to hit the top of a snowy ridge in time to watch the sun rise over the spine of the Wasatch — then ski a steep chute. Surebeats coffee for getting the blood moving. For years, McLean,a 37-yearold Park City resident, has recorded his backcountry skiing adventures in a notebook before getting the idea to compile them into a guidebook. This year, the book became a reality when he self-published The Chuting Gallery, a Guide to Steep Skiing in the Wasatch Mountains. The book is a first of its kind amongski guides in that it is struetured like a climbing book — giving route deseriptions and ratings for ski with monikers likethe Great White Iet cle, God's Lawnmower and Homicide Chute Chuting Gallery explores 81 central Wasatch putes, rating them by their aesthetic strengths and their “gnarl factor shredspeak referring to the chutes’ technical difficulty and the likeli hoodof death if the skier falls.
