Today we embarked on an adventure into the Whistler backcountry to conquer the Banana Chute. Fissile is the gorgeous, pointy, Matterhorn-looking mountain visible from many vantage points throughout Whistler Blackcomb. The Kees and Claire hut and Russet lake rest just below its summit. Banana chute is the classic ski touring target off Fissile with a beautiful wide open slope the whole way down. Fissile is also loaded with more line options including the Summit Chute, Wrap Around Chute, Saddle Chute, Psycho Chute, and many more. It's funny how quick the Whistler Backcountry goes from zero-100 once you leave the musical bumps and climb Fissile. Believe it or not, the spiciest part of the day (other than the sunshine) was the ski out, or lack thereof down singing pass. Make sure to watch until the end because the ski out is absolutely hilarious.

If you're looking for a mapbook to help you safely travel to these lines, check out the Spearhead Backcountry Atlas. This book is extremely helpful in getting familiar with the Whistler Blackcomb Backcountry. https://spearheadbackcountry.com/prod...
