I've got video of me dropping into that cornice. Unofrtunately, the person didn't bring a DV cable, so it will have to wait.

Wow, that looks gorgeous!

I'll have some more soon, I just woke up... Headed up to the mountain in 30 minutes. Gotta beat all the traffic on I-70, from what I hear it can be a major PITA.

...That second pic gives a great idea of how steep that is...

Steep? With all due respect, none of the Summit County (or Eagle County) resorts are known as steep.

Now this place is a *little* steeper (Jackson Hole):

I'm guessing that's the lip of Copper Bowl with the Mountain Chief chairlift running up the center.....

As someone else posted, Copper Bowl isn't that steep at all, and it faces south, so the snow is almost always soft and nice. Sometimes a little too soft as a matter of fact. For steeper bowls go to Spaulding Bowl which has some pretty hairy chutes way over on the skier's right (Patrolman's Chute).
