Top Ten Toughest Ski Runs In The World

Tony,
Those moguls look really horrible :shock: Well done for getting down in one piece. I think I'd have gone back down in the lift :D

Here's another one that can be a bit sketchy depending on the conditions, " Devils Crotch "



Caught the edge of a rock on this one and slid for part of it which was intersting :lol:

Where's that, Scotland by the look of the snow.....?

Non possible madame. Once you get over the ridge to this point, in order to be able to see whats ahead, you are there and theres no turning back. To get back to the lift would be a horrible treck on foot and the snow was so deep then that it would have been nigh on impossible.
I have to confess the first time I got to the top, I looked over and thought it was simply not possible for someone of my experience to do, but my mate and I egged each other on and eventually made it down the first and steepest bit. As you can see from the other photo, the moguls go on for miles but eventually when you realise you are not going to die, you get into a rhythm although I have not been taught how to ski moguls TBH. I headed away to the edges to find the deeper stuff and had a bit of a laugh in that, which took us into the meadows you can see in one of the other pictures.
What I enjoyed about it was the varying terrain, all stuff I'd never have considered before but now I tend to go looking for it.
I could really do with some powder and mogul lessons though.

I've had powder and mogul lessons...I'm still crap though! :D

Easy moguls are... easy, if they aren't too big and on a relatively shallow pitch you just need to be handy with your short turns and know where to use them.

Snow was very sketchy, it was pretty much the end of march in Brekenridge though so cant complain
