The Chimney Couloir is a ski touring route in Baxter State Park in northern Maine, managed by State Park and Recreation. It is an expert-level out-and-back that starts at about 4,820 feet and climbs to roughly 4,838 feet, with a total round-trip gain of about 3,106 feet. The route is short, about 0.9 miles long, and the high point sits just a few feet above the starting elevation. The couloir is a steep, technical objective. The climb is rated expert, and the route's elevation profile shows a sharp rise from the low point of about 3,216 feet to the high point, with the same amount of descent on the way back.
