Thank you! This was filmed in the middle of April - generally pretty late in the season for snow (even for this area) but Mt Mitchell has actually seen snowfall during every month of the calendar year! The weather can get pretty wild up there.

Whoopdeedoo is absolutely steep. I’ve done Lake Chutes and the Devil’s crotch out in Breckinridge and it’s every bit as intimidating when standing at the top. This is a narrow run so little room for error and when/if you fall there’s no getting up. See you at the bottom. Plus when it’s cold and the wind is blowing it’s just one big solid sheet of ice. I hit it 3 times yesterday in slushy conditions and it was great. I’m a big fan of Gunther’s Way. That’s a sneaky steep run towards the bottom but very wide so much more manageable than a run like WhoopdeDoo or Boulder Dash (also a tough narrow run)
@ScottRunsnStuff4 ай бұрын
Thanks for giving this trail the rights it deserves! I’ve skied a bit out west too ( few different resorts across Colorado and Utah) and still Whoopdeedoo is up there with some of the steeper chutes and bowls. You really gotta know what you’re doing too (not just straight-line it) cause there’s that super tight bend at the bottom to merge back into the blue trail.

There’s quite a few steep (but pretty short) climbs that they’d be useful for, as well as for extra balance on the stream crossings. Be mindful of the last 3-5 miles before the turnaround, it’s pretty narrow and there’s two way traffic plus those just finishing the 20. There’s also a bit of faster more runnable stuff that you wouldn’t need poles for and they might get in the way.
