It won't be long before we are powder skiing on the mellow slopes of Vertebrae glacier. Chatter creek opens it's doors during the week after Christmas. At almost 10,000 ft, vertebrae glacier offers magnificent views of the Rocky Mountains and North America's continental divide. Look at our "Glacier Skiing at Chatter Creek" photo gallery for a sampling. At lower elevations, down to about 5000ft, Chatter offers huge alpine bowls and slopes, tree skiing, skiing in old burns and skiing in open cut blocks. There is endless variety.
