Spruce Pass at Chatter Creek Cat Skiing

Cat Skiing Terrain at Chatter Creek
Spruce Pass is a col that lies between upper Lodge Ridge on the south and the flank of Stovepipe Mountain, on the East. The nearby skiing areas are Wonderland, within Megahooped, and the Golf Course, that follows the Spruce Creek drainage from the Pass, back to the Megahooped Trees and the start of the Spruce Pass branch road. Beyond Spruce Pass, to the north lies all of the new Spruce Pass Addition. Viewed from low on Wonderland (in Megahooped), the photo shows tracks on the upper Golf Course, to the left of the Spruce Pass branch road.
