I wasn't going to say that because I was being nice. The side slipping kills me. I lived on this run for years, link your turns damn it! OK, I'm better now....
@@BumpSplat1 Its a progression and often it's just getting used to the higher game. Many years ago, I started skiing with a group of people who skied above my pay grade, and I often felt uncomfortable and slow. Slowly that all changed and what once seemed crazy steep and tight felt normal. He will be fine, and he is hurting no one.
@@mtadams2009 My comment stays true with your words. I only complain when they side slip a tight chute and I have to get creative on entry and exit. We all start somewhere, Snowbird isn't for the faint of heart.
You're killing me. That area was my stomping ground 150 days a year for 5 years!! It's not steeper than 45degrees, but it's amazingly steep tree skiing. I lived for Gad II thunder bowl tree skiing. That area is open quite often if you're there everyday. That place is off the hook a couple week days after a powder dump. Missing it right now.
"...doesn't look steep..." oh, man, does it ever look steep. not sure if it was the camera angle or the tree for perspective, but that last 'chute' looked crazy.
Then you haven't been to enough places. There are plenty of resorts that have sustained near verticle in bound runs. Squaw, Kirkwood, A Basin, Winter Park, Jackson Hole to name a few that are in the U.S. let alone another large handful in Canada. If you really want to scare the skis off your feet take a trip to Kicking Horse in Golden B.C.
@@smumm fun fact, the average angle of snowbird is stepper than JH. Also you see how this entire run is in the shadow…JH has less than 10% of their runs with this aspect. In my opinion the dirty bird is the best steep skiing INBOUNDS mountain in N. America. JH has too much eastern aspect. KH doesn’t get enough snow. Kirkwood’s snow has too much water density. Same with Whistler. A basin has the terrain but not enough snow. Winter Park doesn’t have enough pucker factor terrain.
