    I love your vids! By far, some of the best I’ve seen on RUclips. No load music or screaming profanity or other nonsense. Just epic runs down steep, technical terrain.

    Wow! Top section looked pretty thin and chalky. Feel like I’d want an ice axe or at least a whippet for some of that ascent too.

    Climbing up those rocks in your ski boots? Yikes.

    crampons and ice axe mate... one slip and you're a footnote on the news. Good skills tho.

      Same man, this peak looks really awesome to ski but I have no chance hiking up that thing in ski boots. Still, I would be super happy if I could hike to and ski Gold Hill 9, and Dihedral Chute in Black Iron Bowl!

    I have skied in Telluride and boy that does not look fun, that is the highest place there. Also have you done one of the Gold hill chutes?

    honestly the hike looks 50x as difficult as the run itself

      The hike anyone can do with some training the run is not hard once you know what you are doing but to get enough skill to do palmyra takes years

      Thanks and yes! You ride to the top of Prospect Express then its about 2 hours hike along the boundary line to the drop in.

      @@heathsampleski7781 Aside from the intense workout and killer view, I'm left wondering why bother? I've watched four videos tonight of people's runs down the Gold Hill chute area and the snow looks absolutely awful - just rocks and scraped off snow.
