Peak to Creek to Franzes or Dave Murray downhill at Whistler. 5K vertical uninterrupted. Can't beat that. I did stop a dozen times though ha.,

Start in winter, end in rain.

Top to bottom at Jhole in 6.56. Not sure on mileage but 4139 vert non stop is pretty awesome no matter how you slice it.

I have no idea. I've regularly skied down the trail nonstop (first tracks at Sugarloaf are usually a good example of a top to bottom nonstop run). But I have no idea how long that takes or what my longest time skiing are.

I have no idea of the length but the vert was around 2200 ft. It was a spot off the Mt. Rose Highway near Tahoe. We hiked about 2 hours up, chilled for like 30 min, and took around 9 min with one short breather on the way down. We weren't ripping, just flowing through the trees and hitting all the wind lips and natural features we could find. It was around 45 degrees at the base, bluebird sky, and perfect spring snow. We did that run twice that day. In between, we built a lip on a nice roller with a beautiful, untouched, open landing and played "who can go the biggest" for a while. Man, I miss that stuff!

This past Sunday I did the 1,670 vert at SB's Castlerock non-stop. Of course I have to qualify that by saying it was groomed ��. Nonetheless, with 5" of champaign powder on top, it was a memorable run given that we were on the first two chairs up!

In 2003 a buddy and I joined a friendly guy named Christian at Zell am See-Kaprun for a beautiful day of skiing in Austria. Before we knew it Christian had us climbing over 3300ft/1000m on a string of lifts including the Zeller gondola and an express chairlift to Panorama Pfiff, elevation 6230ft/1900m. After the quick lift rides we began our first real run down the mountain on a mellow looking intermediate trail called The Schutt. It got a little tougher as it went on and by the time we made it to the bottom of the trail at Zell’s neighboring village of Schuttdorf I think I needed to shave again. We had traveled nearly five miles down a vertical drop of 4000ft/1200m, undoubtedly the most thorough “warm-up” run of my life.

4,133 ft of vert from the top of Whitewall down to the gondola base at Kicking Horse. Revelstoke boasts 5,620 but I don't know where they pull that number from unless they are including Mac Daddy.
