All The Way Chute - Kirkwood

"All The Way Chute" is an insane Double Black Diamond off the Iconic "Wall" Ridgeline at Kirkwood Mountain Resort. It is not only one of the steepest runs off The Wall, but the steepest and most challenging run I've every attempted in my life so far (**EDIT: as of JANUARY 3, 2022, it no longer is my hardest run). It is also the the first run that I've done that leads directly into Wagon Wheel Bowl. It was incredibly intimidating to stand on top of this run and even more difficult to commit to skiing it. However, after a long period of hesitation, I made my move and skied one of the most incredible lines I've ever done!
(as usual, the GoPro does zero justice to how steep this thing actually is)

If you made it down here let's all agree that it was a relief that Jaiden didn't go down this run instead! ;)

Jesus Christ lmao I’m an intermediate skier and this looks terrifying even on video. I thought regular black diamonds were hard but this takes it to another level. A friend of mine skied the wall before and he said a group of people went tumbling down the hill after catching an edge in the ice 😂

I've been skiing for 15 years and while I wouldn't quite consider myself an expert skier yet (more of an advanced skier who can do select expert lines), this run freaked me the hell out when I first did it! It's super intimidating and really difficult to mentally commit to. Luckily it wasn't too icy the day I did it unlike the day your friend did it. Kirkwood on ice is no fun!

all the way chute doesn't really look fun for snowboarders, any of yall have any insight on it?
@arjunski Жыл бұрын
I'm not a snowboarder, so I unfortunately can't really help you with that. I can tell you that while there were a bunch of skiers up there, there were still a decent amount of snowboarders up there. I have seen multiple snowboarders attempt this chute as well as other runs out there. As long as you're good with bumps (which I know can be a pain for a lot of snowboarders) and making some tight turns, you should be good. This isn't a snowboarding video, but here's a third perspective video of a guy skiing the upper portion of All the Way to give you some context of what the chute really looks like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLiJgZeFqsi0nZs.html&ab_channel=KeithBatten

@All About Aviation HA! That's something that I would make my sister do. Definitely an interesting green run to do after 5 years of not skiing 😂

What caused the fall?
@arjunski Жыл бұрын
Not fully sure, but I think there was some ice hidden in the chute underneath (conditions were dust on crust) so I just didn't see that and that messed up my momentum causing me to fall

I’m pretty sure jaiden animations mentioned this in one of her videos

She did, and I love that video! 😂 Though the run she did was easier and directly under the chairlift. I have a video of the exact run she did here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMp2bMJznrGvpY0.html

That isn’t all the way chute it’s just a cornice
@arjunski 2 жыл бұрын
This is most definitely All The Way. The chute portion itself begins at 2:38 after the bowl and cornice section. This cornice is simply the upper part of the chute and a drop-in route to get to the chute. If you need further proof that this is All The Way, search up other videos of it on youtube and you'll either find people dropping off the cornice, or skiing the chute that begins at 2:38 in my video. The cornice drop-in is however the proper way to start the run (it's also by far what most people think of when they think of All The Way. You can also check out the Kirkwood trail map and fatmap for further proof I named the line I did correctly. Just know that I started on Chair 10 and traversed lookers' right (skiers' left) and stopped directly before the massive boulders/cliffs that contain Notch Chute, Once is Enough, Heart Chute, Upper Sisters' Chute, and Sisters' Chute Kirkwood Trail Map: www.kirkwood.com/-/aemasset/sitecore/kirkwood/maps/DIGITAL_KWD_Mapside_FINAL_2022.pdf

Not gonna lie, that run looks like a blue run. Although I have not seen it in person it didn't look that hard to do.. Other than that, good job! Pretty good skier especially when you're on the ice, when I'm on the ice I just fall over.
@arjunski 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! While everything past 1:27 is certainly challenging black-diamond territory, I would absolutely not call it a blue run. Also keep in mind that the camera tends to flatten slopes out, making them twice as flat as they would appear normally. The top section for me is one of the most difficult things mentally for me to commit to (and I've been skiing for over 13 years now) and is easily worthy of a double black rating as when you're standing on top of it, it feels nearly vertical! There's definitely a huge difference when you're watching it on screen and standing on top of it (I thought the exact same thing as you thought about this run; that it wasn't too bad based on videos on youtube but I got to the top and my legs could not stop shaking!) Ice did make this run slightly more challenging, but I'm a native California skier, so ice is normal for me and I've kinda developed techniques for skiing it (lol), but I'm not a huge fan as well! :)

Dropping the cornice past of skull and crossbones sign at the top of the wall is probably 50° for the first hundred feet so definitely not blue.
@arjunski 3 жыл бұрын
@@robertbeightler1473 50 degrees sounds about right for that first part and given that a blue is on average 20 degrees, definitely not a blue ;)

This one's really really steep! Gotta appreciate that the drop in was flawless in terms of snow quality. If it was icy, that would have been quite the experience! 😂
