Hey All
Was sitting down for a few beers with some pals and the top ten toughest runs topic came up which caused some debate and a fair few beers to be sunk.
So thought i'd post on here and get your views on the toughest runs, appologies if this has been covered many times before.
Cheers
Matt

Ones we have done, or runs we believe to be the toughest?
Pistes or mountains? I'd say the north face of the Eiger was pretty tough to ski, but I havent got round to it yet.
Seriously, set some criteria and we can all chip in.

Interesting question.
One's personal experience will always include conditions.
Reasonable conditions, the Palivacini, Arapahoe Basin, also Blackcomb Glacier, in a whiteout, plus a sh*t steep couloire some where in France, I can't remember where, I can remember the circumstances, Sheeeeet.
Icy conditions, the Tiger run, Glenshee, and the Club abfarht, Niederau, (off piste, in the trees, now extinct, overgrown), made worse, in that on one occasion, I was at the rear end of the Ackier, (first aid sledge). The unfortunate could see all my facial expressions and no amount of pretend whistling could hide the fact that I was shitting peas.

The steepest was a black in La Thuile, but I would not say it was difficult to ski once I gained the bottle to go over the top, I don't really think
I am that adventurous .

Best/hardest off piste would be grand colouir in courcheval-was pretty hairy as was the matafan face in la plagne.
Best on piste would either be the swiss wall in portes du solei or the hanenkahm (one week after the race and fresh powder = icy powder nightmare!)
