Is that the black behind arc 1600,with the long slow chair to the side of it.definate leg burner if it is the one i'm thinking of,was there in march,and going back this march.Admin wrote:Comborciere in Les Arcs - long, long and very Black... with a pitch that steepens as you descend.
Glorious in fresh snow but when the snow is tired it sucks you in; almost always good at the top (which you can clearly see from the chair up) but the last quarter can be iced up moguls the size of small cars.
And you always seem to hit them at exactly that point when your legs are crying to give up and the adrenalin of the top section can no longer mask the pain in your thighs. :cry:
Absolutely love it though. :D

st anton rendl sector riffel 2 r8 on piste map was a challenge steep and very narrow.
Tunnel run alpe duez some very interesting sections(to the left after the 1st mogul field)
Highest run in les contamines,dont know the name,but you can bail out easily and its quite short.

Garganta in Portillo, un-prepared black from the mountain restaurant to hotel. Nice and wide when you are on it, but getting on it was hairy. Unfortunately I couldn't try the Roca Jack cos my collarbone was broken and you need your arms to ride the lift :(

The Headwall at Crested Butte, Colorado, commonly used as the WinterX resort. Steep doesn't normally bother me, but when I got off the drag and traversed across to the entry point and saw the only real way out, I had a moment....

La Grave is not that tough - the obstacle is that if you go wrong you go to your own Grave...

The Cucumele and Luc Alphand runs at Serre Che are lovely.
As is the Ahorn Abfahrt in mayrhofen in good conditions.
I also loved the long run off the top of Schindler at St Anton, but my most exhilerating experiences were the off piste around Tortin at Verbier where I had my first taste of this kind of action.
