Sling Shot

Clicking on the photos enlarges them. Photos are taken as you come down the hill. They have been taken over several years, so conditions shown will vary depending on what was happening the day the particular photo was taken. Photos looking back up the hill will be described as such.

Rated:
Type of trail: Lightly treed, steep area, just past Glory Hole. Where exactly one ends and the other begins is not clear.
Coming off Chair One, head left towards Hell Fire. Getting onto Hell Fire requires a bit of a straightline down towards Hell Fire because there is a bit of a hill where Hell Fire crosses the snowmobile track. (DO NOT ASSUME THAT THESE GUYS WILL STOP!) As you proceed along Hell Fire, there is a sign for Sling Shot on your left.
Sling Shot can either terminate in the gorge section of Glory Hole, OR in order to continue getting freshies, angle to skier's right as you proceed down the slope, ending over in the "apron" area below Picture Chutes. Once in the Glory Hole basin, either exit via the traverse (Highway to Heaven) or via Glory Hole to Hell Fire.
