    Skied it in 1973. It was different then. A rope to hold onto instead of stairs. Way more snow and no idea where the best lines were. Two friends put on a show for us by bombing the thing at about 50 miles per hour on 207 Slalom skis. Epic.

      First time I skied it was 1990 at 16 . Did it on my 208 GS racers. A lot more walking to get there back in the day!! Now with goats eye there is enough lift accessible hardcore terrain that I only do Delerium just as they open it after a big snow, only worth the walk if it it's waste deep and mostly untracked, it's fun though!!

    Being someone that loves skiing and is terrified of heights and steeps but always wants to do them, the way you introduced them was incredible. Speaking calmly, letting them know certain areas are scary but still okay, showing where to go. The worst is when I go with people that I know will absolutely go down things I'm not quite ready for but not let me know until I'm on top of it lol

    Recommending to these guys that they “not put their skis on,” and “walk down to here” is unimaginably bad advice. Ski boots have awful traction, considering that they lack the 160cm long metal edge that skis have. The likelihood that those guys were going to slip while standing there at the top wearing only ski boots on crusty snow was quite high. If hey saint have crampons, they should have had their skis on.

    Nope. And as you like steep drops, if you ever come over to Europe, you'd like le Grand Couloir in Courgevel (85%), and Le Mur in Les Portes (90%), before you tackle the big one the 104% Glacier 3000 called the Black Wall, in Vaud Switzerland. And nope, I haven't the nerve to tackle any of them.

    Very well made video, realistic, candid, and well filmed with multiple cameras, realistic for normal skiers. Nice!. Note traverses and ridge line hikes always seem the most tension filled part of skiing off piste terrain like this! The beginning was the hardest part and appreciated you two sliding down on your rear ends to meet your instructor, that’s honesty and emphasizes my observation.

      Junior, the Dive is Avy controlled in bounds accessed by a short boot hike. That is the unique feature that Chevy created. Backcountry skiing from a lift. The only grooming is with explosives. That is the beauty of Canada eh.
      Come try it, then comment. I did both Wild West and Delirium a week ago, nice dry powder above tree line, true alpine.
