    I always thought people said that this run was just a tight and steep glade that should have been a double black - this video proved that wrong lol! That cliff section looked WILD!!!

    There was a triple black diamond at Sunday river in Maine called Spruce Cliff. But it’s not on the map anymore.

      That was never a triple black diamond, it was only rated as a double diamond. You can check the old maps if you dont believe me

    This trail is easily the craziest at Smuggs. Congrats on not breaking anything on the way down! I had a friend whos in some of my videos (he's an amazing skier) literally snap his pole in half right about where you guys fell.

    Glades in the east are significantly more difficult than out west ive extensively skied both. U cant compare corbets to this run apples to oranges.

      Corbets isn't a glade run, you need to compare west coast glades to east coast glades

      ⁠​⁠@@telestix6606that’s what I meant by apples to oranges. I spent 14 ski seasons in Colorado and the surface conditions and tree tightness are night and day on inbounds glades. A black run at cannon mt can be scarier than a double black out west. The rating system at resorts are not relevant to each other. Mad River Glen like Cannon have only single blacks but their toughest trails would be rated double black extreme any where else in the world.

    Is This the only triple black diamond ski run outside of Big Sky Resort in Montana?

    • @DirtyDirkDiggler
      @DirtyDirkDiggler Месяц назад

      No. Although, I’m not sure if all ski resorts use the same system when it gets to areas that are really sketchy. I believe in Snowbird you need permission to access one or two runs that are extremely difficult. I don’t believe they are called Triple Diamonds but whatever the equivalent or more dangerous to that would be..

      From what I can tell the run is "The Black Hole" at Smuggler's Notch, which has an average slope of 29 degrees, and a brief maximum of 46 degrees near the top of the run.

    No possible way this is a triple black. Heck corbets couloir is a double black. And I know GoPros often don’t do justice, but I have skied both this and many double blacks in the west including corbets. And many double blacks on the west are harder than this. I call cap on the ♦️♦️♦️ rating

    • @ericgosnell9428
      @ericgosnell9428 10 месяцев назад +4

      The vast majority of west coast ski resorts (including Jackson Hole) do not use the triple black rating system. Some resorts have only double black, some only double black EX, and most are a combination of the two. So just because this one is triple black doesn't mean its harder than west coast double blacks.

    • @lulunomu
      @lulunomu 10 месяцев назад +2

      @@ericgosnell9428i think they also grade slopes on a different scale. since all the slopes there are generally flatter, a black diamond in the east would probably be a blue in the west. like to me, other than that pretty steep part, it just looked like regular black trees.

      ​@@ericgosnell9428fun fact: "double black ex" is the only trail rating held to a specific standard. It's actually mandated to be rated and marked as extreme terrain by the state of CO based on steepness, exposure/cliffs/mandatory air, and tree spacing.
      So if you find yourself on any terrain that isn't "double black extreme" within the state of Colorado, the rating is entirely subjective.
