To me Corbet's takes the cake. The day I was there, the cornice was 15 feet.

This is from Northback at Crystal last year. By the way, this terrain will be serviced by the new lift. Attached File  crystal_10_12_06_041.jpg (1.77MB)

I would say that Crystal has some of the best terrain anywhere.

I'd say it's already lift serviced- Rex and chair 3- but maybe that's just me.

True, but now it will be in bounds and it is a much easier trip back up.

Can't say I'd miss the I-5 traverse out of there, that's for sure.

Sorry, lousy image. Taken right after the 120 inch storm at JH back in 87. Corbett's was FULL of snow. No "mandatory air" at all. It was amazing!

The pictures don't really do it justice, but here are a couple of 'scary' runs. Taken one looking down into 'Corrie Dubh' and the 'Braveheart Chairlift' from the summit, the other looking at the same chairlift from opposite. The resort is Nevis Range in Scotland.


Very cool pictures -- we have no snow and there is not even hope of getting any soon in PA-- you guys out west must be stoked to be getting hammered this week -- here are a few pictures from Valdez.

I'd agree, almost any diamond run on frozen snow is nasty to ride on and not any fun.

This isn't anything 'crazy steep', I just like the shot. I took it in mid May at hyak just before my decent.

Thats one of best runs off Hyak. The short hike gives you a added steepness and longer run. Bad in sticky stuff

All my photos of lakelouise were really washed out as it was nearly a whiteout when we skiied the back bowls but dear me was the snow amazing. The ultimate steeps were supremely awesome!

This is a photo of one of the many chutes back there, at least half a dozen in total. From the lake louise website.

The elevator shaft atop the larch chair. This was after about 45 mins of hiking through wind packed snow, we decided to drop in here the chute is to the right of the rocks and had a lot more snow that it might seem from the picture, up to my waist where i was taking the photo. This was taken in early January.

The Wall at Kirkwood is the steepest run I've ridden. Instead of a double diamond they use a skull and crossbones symbol.

(This is not a reply to Snoqualmie guy, sorry.)

If you think Eastern Canada has nothing scary, then think again.

Not sure if looking back up counts...but these are face of bell and shoulder of bell at Aspen. I think they are great runs.

Nice. Internationale looks steep enough covered with snow, and it looks plenty rocky then.

Near the middle of International we were walking/scrambling or rocks the size of cars.

Seeing as Nevis Range here in Scotland has had a mention, here's a couple of photos of the Entrance to Easy Gully (removed from the trail map due to the name - it's an easy ice climb not ski run!).

The Wall at Kirkwood is steep, but its a wide open slope, in my opinion there's more challenging and interesting terrain at Kirkwood.
