40 foot cliff at Squaw valley, didn't mean to ski to the cliff, but it was too steep to hike back up, so I hucked it and thankfully stuck the landing and didn't get hurt. Could have ended my skiing career. Would NOT do that again, very scary

what didn't you like about birds of prey? not a fan of the downhill run but peregrine is a great bump run when there's enough snow.

Maybe Cirque at Snowbird, which I've never hit on a comfy powder day. I recall the Alta Chutes at Jackson Hole being up there too.

Probably a chute, the name of which I forgot, out of bounds at Jackson Hole somewhere in the Rock Springs area. I think that was likely steeper than any of the stuff I skied in-bounds at JH, which would probably otherwise be the steepest (Corbets, Tower 3, Alta Chutes, the very last Expert Chute at the end of the traverse).

I guess it would be Ptarmigan at Attitash since that's where I do most of my skiing. There may have been steeper runs when I was younger, but I dont recall.....

Forgot to mention, Alta Zero (since it's not part of the normally open Alta Chutes) is steeper than Tower 3, other Alta Chutes, Experts.. Also a ridge off to skier's left of East Ridge Traverse is pretty steep and steeper than most other stuff inbounds probably, but not Alta Zero, I don't think. Originally Posted by kcyanks1

Highlands Bowl at Aspen Highlands , steep and long. Don't know if its the steepest but certainly one of the hardest I ever skied and perfectly named, a trail called Elevator Shaft on Ajax. The front 4 in Utah all have great drops all over the place.

Oh, hell ya!! I was at Whistler skiing those trees that year. And at Baker the week before. Can we just talk about that season some more??? Dreaming...... Originally Posted by Geoff

Like most of these discussions, the conditions at any given time have at least as much to do with it than physical aspects of the trail.The good times are killing me
