Clamshell and Fruit Loops at Chatter Creek


The Clamshell, on the left, and the tower that marks its northern edge. Forbidden Fruit exits above the tower, and the Plank exits below. Both exits drop into the bottom of Fruit Loops , that runs at the edge of the shadow from upper right of the center of the photo to lower left. Just below the tree line, Fruit Loops passes over a headwall known as the Waterfall. The Plank skirts the Waterfall to the south. From the Waterfall, there is a short run along a creek back to the road.

The new Game Creek drainage appears in the background, mostly in shadow. Vertigo Peak can be seen in the background, against the mist covering Kinbasket Lake. This portion of the Chatter Creek cat skiing tenure lies in the Kitchen Range of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Click the image to the right to see ski run names. The entrance to Fruit Loops is from Oyster Bowl, shown in the next two photos to the right. The top of the Game Creek drainage is visible at the left of the last photo to the right.
