The very top by that rock is for sure more like 20-25, get steeper if you right if the rock
I have turned out before the rock. When looking down from the top its hard to see all the surface of the hill above the rock because of the steepness. Not for me. lol

The Turbo chute is a nice practice chute and a great chute for beginners to get comfortable with chute climbing. Its easy with a lot of room and run out for mistakes. Its also relatively safe to climb. The first time i climbed that chute was on a 700, since then i bet i've gone up and down that chute over 100 times over the years. Its the quickest way up to the helipad, also a great way to enter the east side of the mountain, half way up the chute you cut to the left and that will take you into a whole new zone.
Now you want a challenging chute at turbo hill try the one to the right of the turbo chute, now that one...

I remember going up and over on a 1974 John Deere 440. Probably been up and down it 225-230 times since. Not a big deal. Its not a competition

Interesting cause to the best of my knowledge the first guy to climb the turbo chute was on a Polaris 600 back in the 90’s.
I’ll have to confirm that with Chad and Randy but that is what I always been told.

I'm no expert but I'm petty sure that comment was a "his dad could beat up your dad..."

it doesn't get climbed too often.

another good one is the angry pirate in the bullpen.

Revy has more crazy chutes to climb then any other riding areas that i’m Aware of. If your into chute climbs, Boulder is choice.
