"...doesn't look steep..." oh, man, does it ever look steep. not sure if it was the camera angle or the tree for perspective, but that last 'chute' looked crazy.

Twenty years ago on my first day at Snowbird (in a storm) first run we hooked up with a resort guide and he turned his coat inside out and took us up to Get Serious chute. Back then, guides were not supposed to take people under a rope into extreme areas. I think we went in right there but back then the trees were more dense. We squeezed through and swung into the chute by using a fixed rope and grabbing tree roots. Much steeper than it looks. The first 10-15 ft is a straight drop. I'd never done anything like that before or since. Really nice to see this video of a moment that was so long ago. Thank you for posting.

Did he ever consider that ski patrol roped off the entrance because they accessed that the entrance was skied off and dangerous. Just because there are tracks going in doesn’t mean that it’s still safe when you duck the rope.

Then you haven't been to enough places. There are plenty of resorts that have sustained near verticle in bound runs. Squaw, Kirkwood, A Basin, Winter Park, Jackson Hole to name a few that are in the U.S. let alone another large handful in Canada. If you really want to scare the skis off your feet take a trip to Kicking Horse in Golden B.C.

@@smumm fun fact, the average angle of snowbird is stepper than JH. Also you see how this entire run is in the shadow…JH has less than 10% of their runs with this aspect. In my opinion the dirty bird is the best steep skiing INBOUNDS mountain in N. America. JH has too much eastern aspect. KH doesn’t get enough snow. Kirkwood’s snow has too much water density. Same with Whistler. A basin has the terrain but not enough snow. Winter Park doesn’t have enough pucker factor terrain.
