Yah, was my first complaint back in the 80's when snow boards first started appearing on the ski slopes. If they actually know how to carve turns they're no problem, but there is a huge number of people riding those boards that just do scrape descents on anything steep, so they should stay off stuff they can't carve, and that goes for skiers as well.

Thanks for including my footage at 4:15 and at 4:19! The Lake Chutes are definitely some of the most challenging lines I've skied! Good list that definitely highlights some of the more challenging areas in North America! Some other runs worth mentioning: Little Couloir - Big Sky Headwaters - Big Sky Dutch Wallet - Kicking Horse (or literally any other double black at Kicking Horse) Krakatoa - Whistler Blackcomb The Couloir - Whistler Blackcomb Exhilaration - Whistler Blackcomb Surf's Up - Whistler Blackcomb Chimney - Palisades Tahoe Heart Chute - Kirkwood S&S Couloir - Jackson Hole Forbidden Zone - Snowbird Little Chute - Alta Money 1 & 2 - Alyeska High Life - Crested Butte Body Bag - Crested Butte Third Bowl - Crested Butte East Wall & Steep Gullies - Arapahoe Basin Eden - Aspen Highlands Upper 5 - Lake Louise Kiwi Flats - Mammoth Mountain Black Bess & Honeycomb Chutes - Solitude Heart of Darkness - Winter Park Stauffenberg - Taos Wild West: Luxton's - Sunshine Village All of Silverton (if it counts)

I've found more challenging runs at Crested Butte than the ones mentioned here. Runs like Paradise Cliffs/Big Chute area are more technical, as well as the entire Headwall area. I've found Phoenix Chutes and Staircase to be challenging, and Rambo is of course no joke. Check out Teo 2 Bowl the next time you're there (If it's open) and also try Flatiron and Psycho Rocks, both of which are very challenging.

Whistler Blackcomb has some really gnarly official runs which I'd imagine are near the difficulty of these, Hawaii 5-0, Krakatoa, Crack House, Whistler Couloir, Exhilaration and Elevator to name a few. I've skied for 20+ years and don't even feel close to skilled enough to do some of the stuff I've seen here. Im sure these are all bonkers as well, but it just goes to show gnarly stuff is everywhere if you know where to look

You did forget that next to Corbet’s couloir there is S&S Couloir, which has a required drop of 20+ feet into a straightaway. It has its own waiver you have to sign. You also forgot that climb down runs exist - where you have to climb down into the chute. Pipeline at Snowbird and Dutch Wallet at Kicking Horse are both examples of this. You also forgot the headwaters at Big Sky, which require a lengthy 40 minute hike to get to the end of - the whole duration you are next to a several hundred foot drop that has massive cliffs.
@nadakiddАй бұрын
Also half of the shots skier's left of Great Scott are more dangerous than most on this list. Don't get me started with Fantasy Ridge. Kicking Horse is no joke though.

I don’t think Pipeline is that bad, the headwaters is a bit nerve wracking though.. for sure. I’ve experienced some stuff in the Alps that was far more terrifying than anything in NA or Canada and I’m been literally everywhere, skiing for 30+ years. This list is definitely odd though, seems like he read an article(s) and tossed together a list to try and make profit off views.

No hate to this creator but I feel that when it comes to the hardest ski runs all the lists don't not care about Bridger Bowl, I know it is a small resort but they have A LOT of runs that I think are worthy of a placement on at least one of these lists. Lemme give you a list of most of them: Saber Slice, 6th Grade, Jaws 1, Cottom's Classic, Good Grief, Elf Stone, Out of Control, End of Control, Jess's Fine Line, Nun's, Trap Door Direct, Tight Squeeze, Kneil's, Dirty 'neils, Cuckoo's, Mad Women's, Brain Damage, Angry Chair, Dry Martini, Lost Shot Notch, Lost Shot Straight line, Two Way Street, Chute 7, X Couloir, Princess Point, Pondwarf's Pucker, Angel's Flight, The Diving Board, The Tree House Drop, Stimulus Package, Spud's Angry Pocket, Lower Never Never Land, The Waltz, Spicy Palapa, The Four Virtues, Mr. Wiggles, Jaws 2, Job 3, Right Side Direct and Sometimes a Good Notion. Most of these have decent media coverage, at least on You Tube. Of course I can't compare any of these to the ones in these lists from experience since I am not crazy enough to do any of these, yet, but still. Then again with these list there really is no exact top 10 hardest ski runs. Besides that decent list.

@@killingaurapvp3178 uhhhhhh, idk about that one. Rambo's a tree cut run with a few obstacles and reaches a max pitch of 45ish degrees. Eagles Nest is a sheer rock face that requires insane billy-goating and a huge exit drop and it reaches pitches upwards of 60 degrees. It's not even a comparison, they're not even in the same league. Plus Rambo isn't even close to the hardest run at CBMR

So many facts are wrong, you might mix up degres with %. Because most of these run are no way near 45 degrees. Corbets at 50degres… wtf . Clearly you never step foot on 50degree slope to say that… snow will barely stick to it! Alaska is renowned for having the steepest mountains slope , and this is because of the abnormal climate that make the snow stick to the face.

This is a very interesting list but you are missing some great runs. If you are going to include hike-to runs, I would rank Pipeline at Snowbird over Great Scott. Even Elevator Shaft at Snowbird is more difficult than Great Scott and you can ski right to it. I would also include Main Chute at Alta or the more difficult run to the left called Little Chute. Then there is High Rustler at Alta but I'm not sure it should be on this list unless you include the jump over the rocks at the top instead of the cheater side entry that 99% of skiers use to get in. Finally there are many code-brown-inducing runs at Kicking Horse and at least one of them should be on this list. Unfortunately Kicking Horse doesn't get as much publicity as some of the other resorts on this list and so it is easy to overlook them. Do yourself a favor and make the trip. It is the real deal.

i think it's less about how difficult the run is and more about how dangerous it is- falling on rambo means you are bouncing off trees and rocks all the way down, at corbet's you've at least got some open snow to work with if you make a mistake
@shappooppiАй бұрын
Corbet’s is way easier than Rambo or s&s. Corbet’s just has name recognition so people think it’s hard. There’s also not a lot of consequence from taking a crash on corbet’s. You take a 50 foot wipeout and call it a day. Also, I can only speak from experience but this is a terrible list. The hardest run at Breckenridge is probably 6 senses. Mandatory air into a mandatory straight line . They’re just saying that it’s Lake Chutes because Crazy Ivan 2 is steep af. Rambo isn’t the hardest run at crested butte. It’s fucking scary and the top is usually all rocks but it’s not harder than body bag. The problem with these lists is people haven’t actually skied these runs, so they’re just going on word of mouth. And lots of trail maps won’t give you specifics, so if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you’re not skiing it.

I guess most of them, are not as smrt as you seem to think that you are. I bet you never had any difficulty learning how to pronounce terms/names such as; Rendezvous, Gros Ventre, or Dubois, huh.

On top of all this, once you actually get to ski the trail, you have to have a complete knowledge of the area because a wrong path on any of the chutes could take you to some mandatory air that could potentially be dangerous It is one of the scariest things I have ever done in my 13 years of existence I legitimately almost died 3 time in the past 3 years that I have skied them
