google earth is probably the coolest thing, you can explore mad ski resorts and the pictures are very detailed in most places (salt lake for example)

that gulch in the lower left hand corner is grizzly, that picture does go far enough up it to show chads though. Most of that picture 95% is alta.

Ya that road in the upper center...where it switch backs on the left side...that switch back is basically pointing at chads, maybe a little downhill of chads.

That could be it, its hard to tell...but the gap goes over that dirt road you are seeing. When you see pics of it in winter and the lowest part of the gap...thats the dirt road, so it would seem like the dirt road should be right next to the landing hill, and it sorta looks like its not in that picture. i dunno

this is awesome. so, as soon as anyone finds chads, that person gets to call a new place, that we're gonna try finding, and so on. could be interesting.
