This used to be a gaming channel from my younger years, so my apologies about the older content and its quality. I still find it important to keep these up for archive's sake even if it does not represent my current plans for this channel. Thank you for your understanding.
No matter how crowded some days might get these trails are usually empty. You have to have real skills to even get down! Most people go by on launch pad and see the entrance for Anarchy or Julio and say NOPE if they even see them at all.
It’s hard to appreciate just how steep this run is. I hit this mid season on a Capita Mercury and my calf muscles were burning from trying to keep my edge from kicking out!
Thanks for posting a high quality, high resolution video! Was awesome to watch it on a high quality monitor! I went on 6/1/2019, they had top to bottom, ski on ski off.
didn't even notice they were DD EX until I read your write up. tbf, part of that is not being/feeling like you're on the top of the world above the tree line. except for the snow having that "spring skiing" sort of mush to it, it looked great. so many wonderful options for bumps out west. could almost never do the same run twice whereas I contented myself lapping the same one or two trails all day in the NE. 😁
Yeah there's so much variety! I'm kinda the same way out East but I can't tell if that's just because I have incentive to mix it up for recordings purposes. I find that at places like Killington where I've already filmed almost everything I end up doing a lot of repeat laps though. Colorado resorts are just a lot bigger, and since I could only really do day trips out there it made sense to take in as much of each resort as possible. An interesting side note is that A-Basin is considered a small resort by CO standards but it's the same size as Killington and Sugarloaf!
What an awesome season they had. I was lucky enough to go 7 weekends in a row. I wished I went back this last weekend to just ride it. End to a great winter at killington.
I just spent 4 months in Colorado and can kinda see where you’re coming from haha. But this was pretty early in the season (December pow is almost unheard of out here) and I was just happy to get some natural terrain under my skis. But this probably wouldn’t even have been open in Colorado or Utah.
@@Greg41982 Yeah that part rocks! I wouldn’t give the resort too much credit since it’s just left over from the bike park but I’m kinda glad they kept it. You made me watch the video again and it’s crazy how much my skiing has improved since I filmed this. Thanks for watching!
It's probably better with actual powder and wax on the skis, in that case the first traverse is more like an actual trail and the runout is pretty scenic.
I think it's the rocks, they might be obligated to mark it as such because of the legal definition of a double diamond in Colorado, so it might qualify from some of the steeper drops. Otherwise it might just be to discourage what would probably be frequent injury from unprepared skiers who might fly through it and go off a low-vis cliff or something lol
Well, I don't like that I had to go back East too soon haha... but yeah, really underestimated how nice late April and May were out there! Plenty of late season snowfall as well
@@Bram4Real was wondering myself if you had just decided to live out there. feels like a month or more of different mountains out west. must've been a killer getaway.
