Booger

OK, this has to be the worst place name at A-Basin. Sorry about the name, but Booger is an outstanding ski run. It is the chute between Shorkelnose and Corner Chute. Saturday, the skiing in there was extraordinary. There were a few rocks to negotiate at the top, but once in the chute, it was loose powder with good cover. It takes me about 30 minutes to hike to the top of the Willy's Staircase, unless I am with my wife. Then it takes about 20 minutes. From the top of the staircase head north, drop into the top of Snorkelnose. Instead of skiing, keep traversing North to the next chute, Booger. Ski it up and you will love it. Again, sorry about the name.
