Cecret chutes at Alta can get me puckered. Eddies high nowhere is sick too. Also there’s a pretty dank chute under the summit chair at solitude, then there’s the cathedral cirque(pretty big cliffs) and the evergreen chutes

Just watch my edits. They are full of gnarly lines

Skied a line at Whistler in a permanently closed area off Peak chair which I later learned was aptly called "don't miss". You can see the couloir underneath the weather station with super exposed cliffs either side. Guess I could've gotten in a ton of shit if I got caught, oh well live and learn.

It looks super fat in this picture but the whole upper zone is no fall avy prone that goes to a narrow rocky choke.

man skied whitewater for the first time this weekend while competing in the junior ifsa comp, nutty resort. the slack country terrain and terrain by the glory chair is next level with all the lines and cliffs. after the comp i hit a big ass diving board just off skiers right of the top of the summit chair, do you know the one and does that have a name ?

yea its off of larch. 15-30min of hiking depending on snow or if someone else bootpacked it before you.
just stay hard right when going into rock garden and climb up past the boundary fences.
ski patrol will not be stoked if you are going in there without beacon shovel probe and a buddy.
it doesnt have the giant cornice at the top like corbets.

Similar story here, the gnarliest line is can think of off the top of my head was the permanently closed area above west rid off Whistler peak. I was aiming to get to the top of McConkey's trees and ended up in a spot where if you fell you were going for a long ride off god knows what. It was foggy too so that didn't help.

An unnamed run on the sidecountry of Gulmarg on a red-level avalanche danger day.
My private guide brought me to a "safe" place to ski, even though it went past the army dogs at the border.
Top to bottom was like 6000' vert. A section of it went through a slide path of muddy death cookie avalanche path and hot debris that was like skiing through a pile of crushed cars.
Everything else was bleached by blue skies, intense sunlight, and a high alpine desert heat wave that made gnarly freeze-thaw cycles. So the snow was heavy heavy.
I stepped it down, very carefully, four times on some Icelandic Nomads.
And lived to tell the tale.

Its like the middle of the cirque traverse, I think it is called Elevator. You have to watch out for a brutal traverse path just as the chute opens up across the cirque but its a go-to for me when theres really good windbuff skiing or conditions are deep.

People in the cottonwoods need to be more creative with naming lines. Theres an elevator chute at snowbird, theres one at alta, and theres one at btown. kinda fucked

in all honesty, i started skiing there when I was like 15 and now at 26, just figured out some run names but still just go by landmarks and shit lol. I agree though. I too have discrepancies about run names.
all three elevator chutes are fun to ski tho.

yeah it doesn't really bother me unless i consciously think about it. i mostly just go by the landmarks too and so do people I ski with
14377723:DeebieSkeebies said:
Elevator has always been one of the lines I ski the most. It's at 4:40 in this vid if you want to check if that's the one you are talking about:
Just down traverse from that is Forbidden Zone, there are some really fun straightlines in there too, check them out sometime if you haven't
