Brad's Line is on the skier's left edge of the Meadow Chutes.
Follow the directions into Silver Fork from Big Cottonwood Canyon. About 30 minutes after leaving your car (and about 0.4 mile past the last cabin), you'll come to the outhouse mention in the Silver Fork directions. A skin track usually leaves somewhere near here (often just before the outhouse) and climbs observer's right of Silver Spoon to Peak 9699. Brad's Line starts at Peak 9699.
