In general, pickups are done where the ski run ends. At Chatter Creek it is rare that skiers must ski out to a pickup point that is common to a number of runs. On many runs, there is more than one potential pickup spot, so guides may cut short a run if the conditions at the bottom are not up to standard.

Guests who find they want an extra rest can ride back down the mountain in the front, with the cat driver. The views are spectacular and it's always interesting to get to know the staff a little better and to learn more about the snowcat skiing operation.
