    It says North America but you never mentioned any Canadian runs. If you were to make a hardest ski runs in Canada number 1 should be delirium dive at sunshine village.

    Have you ever been to Blackcomb or Kicking Horse? Each of those has several named runs harder than some of the ones on your list. I think you failed to list anything from Canada in fact.

    Hardest ski run ever idea:
    Backwards, one ski only, icy moguls that appear randomly, no vision, no hearing, upside down tungsten poles that each weigh 50 pounds, doing the Macarena, solving rocket science equations and the 7 million dollar math equations, 24 hour slope, have to start at the top, a mosquito bit your nose at the start, 89 degree slope, no stopping, you randomly have to complete a 710 degree spin jump every 10 seconds, you only get the completion once to do a quintuple backflip onto the spiky platform at the bottom and completely and fluently recite every last script Shakespeare ever wrote while alternating between mandarin and ancient Egyptian and keep a steady 5 words a second and not ever messing up, you have to stay on the course for the entire time, you have to win the lottery, balance a tea cup on your head the entire time, you are starving, and you have a child on your back.

    I've skied three of these runs. And the footage in the video is less that half on the actual trail. It makes me wonder how accurate the footage is of the other 4. Great idea for a video though. Map highlighting is off too. How do you miss the trails on the map?

  • @marcuskoster6978
    @marcuskoster6978 4 месяца назад +1

    That is Phillipes. Next to p4. Either way there are like 12 steeper runs at mammoth. I’m from vt and none of the resorts there deserve to be on that list.

  • @danielkleckner9782
    @danielkleckner9782 2 месяца назад +1

    • @exoticpaw6313
      @exoticpaw6313 5 дней назад

      What is the difference between Balls to the Wall and Heavos Grande anyway? I agree with you anyway, Phillipe's and Kiwi Flats are pretty gnarly, especially early season.

    • @hitchhiker6150
      @hitchhiker6150 2 месяца назад

      Absolutely! I have skied everything but Kiwi. I've even done air Jordan, Corbet's and big couloir. The one I have turned my back on is couloir at whistler a few times when conditions are too dicey. Little colouir is probably the only other one that would prove a challenge and the down climb to pipeline at snowbird

  • @Snow-Journal
    @Snow-Journal Год назад +4

    Ya some of that looks fun but you guys should ride north of the border for a real challenge. Kill the Banker and the Glades on the edge, Wild West and Delerium just to name a couple

  • @MrMywildside
    @MrMywildside 6 месяцев назад +2

    You should mention that Pipeline at Snowbird is rarely open. The conditions have to be just right. Also no Big Couloir at Big Sky?

    • @dakuucgt
      @dakuucgt 4 месяца назад

      The big is hard, but there are many trails that are more difficult, even at big sky. It is advertised as being the hardest and steepest slope on the mountain, but headwaters runs such as hells half acre, Jack Creek, Rock Creek, and some other headwaters and a/z chute runs are harder. However, if pipeline should be counted in this list, the little couloir should also be counted.

    P4 at Mammoth is not the toughest run at Mammoth. Star chute or Kiwi Flats is much harder as is Phillipes, Balls to the Walls, Jr's, MJB, Cowboys. They are all much harder then P4.

    • @exoticpaw6313

    Almost none of the shots about Paradise were actually of Paradise, and that _definitely_ is not where it is on the map. I'd rank Kinsman Glade at Cannon as harder, just as steep and dense but a lot longer.

    when mad river glen and other east coast terrain makes the list and the big or little couloir of Big Sky montana dont i have to question the validity of the list.. i also have to question whether this was just an unoriginal, rip off of all the other videos and articles that name these same runs.. how many of these runs have you actually rode? most likely one or two and then just copied a list from somewhere else, as someone who has rode corberts the little couloir of Big Sky has a butt pucker factor twice that of Corberts, one wrong move and you are dead.. despite the name the little couloir is far more intimidating than the big, im pretty sure the big vs little just refers to width, if you see either of those runs during summer, you'll find yourself saying "thats a literal cliff face.. and people ski it??"
