yeah, that is the one right next to the 40 footer on cardiff ridge. it's also the widest and most obvious. i fugured it was in the fork but wow. those chuteletts don't get much traffic until things get skied out. it seems like an odd time to hit em up. they're all nearing the 40* mark but mostly around 38*
