Unfamiliar Terrain?

I'm not exactly sure what to put as the title so I'll just leave it as it is, but basically a while back I went down a double black went to an area that I hadn't been to before, it turned out to be an unmarked run and had tiny ass signs hidden behind the trees that said "unmarked trail" and "extremely difficult terrain" and stuff, but I saw them too late because I was already down the slope. Anyway, there was this narrow chute-like thing that was maybe 80 ish degrees, 5 or 6 feet across and 9 or 10 feet in length, and it opened up at the bottom to a bunch of moguls. It was almost like a super miniature version of Corbet's. I'm just curious as to how you should ski something like that. I just side slid my way down the chute part until I got to the moguls but is there a "right" way to do it?
 
80 degrees isn't that steep. You sure it wasn't 180? That seems way more tech.

Also, when in doubt, straightline that fucker till you make it out the bottom to cheers, or explode and ragdoll violently spinning so fast that you counteract the earths gravitational force, and come out the bottom 4 years younger than you dropped in.

So basically there's no losing scenario. Great success and free beers from all locals who witness you're harrowing feet, or you defy the basic principles of aging and time in general.

5-6 ft wide and 10ft long? Straight line that shit

Wait I’m confused. If straight down is 180 degrees wouldn’t 90 degrees be flat and anything less than 90 be uphill?

Considering snow wouldn't be sticking to that, let's call it a cliff and say send er
 
Everyone is clowning on you cause it’s either a cliff or if it had snow on it then like 40.

But seriously if it’s only 10 feet you should be able to straighline and hit the bumps aggressively. Skiing bumps non stop is great practice for actually getting good at skiing. Once you can fluidly smash bumps staying down the hill a lot of bigger mountain options open up (to do properly not just side slip)
