i rode this one today. was a bit more filled in but dust on crust and still very sharky. was happy i decided to snowboard today instead of ski. having 25cm less length was nice in the chokes
Is this between 2nd notch and North Pole? Almost dropped into this today but i'm glad I didn't, it gets way tighter after you go around that big rock at the top. I'd love to poke in here one day!
Much respect for surviving all that, but it does not look like fun at all. It's like start-stop constantly just to find enough snow coverage. Maybe the line needs another foot or two of snow.
If you had fallen among those dense "shark's teeth" - how would your would-be rescuers have reached you without extreme high risk to themselves? No way to get a sled down that, so probably a helicopter would have been involved, but even so it would need to get dangerously close to terrain that steep. I get the thrill of accomplishment of successfully skiing challenging terrain, but there comes a point where you put others at unacceptably dangerous risk if you miscalculate your ability to choose and execute a long sequence of challenging, risky moves.
@@TheNcmore “if you miscalculate” I understand your point but I did not miscalculate. I am moving at an extremely slow pace to ensure every calculated move is accomplished successfully. Resorts that have this type of terrain also have ski patrollers that are regularly trained in high angle rescue skills. Most of the ski patrollers here are my friends and close acquaintances and putting them in danger is always at the forefront of my mind when making decisions on whether or not I am capable of skiing any specific piece of terrain
solo dolo on this one, its not always the best skiing but more so just getting to know the line for when the snow is right and you can ski it more fluidly.

Survival skiing at it's finest! Well done Zach!✌❤❄
That's like a triple black with extreme terrain. Crazy shit
Dude! That was awesome... So crazy. Nice work, thanks for sharing!
Billy goat mode: engaged
No Fall Zone. Amazing work. I was worried you were going to gun it a few times.
This is some of the manliest manning I've ever seen.
That was insane! Way to get after it!
You’re a real rock hound there buddy. East wall and west wall have wide open runs . Hope you rented those ski’s 1:12
Lolll Doug you’re a lifetime h8er!
My hands never sweat so much just by watching a video.
It's always tough to find a line Backcountry. Well done!
Rocks are snow too!
I'm definitely not hardcore enough to ever attempt a line like this but... does this even count as skiing? Or just like, vertical hiking?
just scoping the line for when the snow conditions are better to ski it more proper

Does this one have a name / is it marked on that map they released of the east wall a few years ago?
Looks like you walked down it lmao
1:35 holy shit
0:17, I can't do kick turns...cause I don't have the hip external rotation...I should fix that....they can save you in some gnarly situations
That wasn't so much a line, but more like downhill hiking with skis on. I've been there myself and you did a good job.

Staying alive. Huge respect.
Nice line! Good things come to those who hike
Skiing, or mountain descent on skis? 😂
how soon did you notice this was a bad idea?
That was like skiing down a natural via ferrata in the Dolomites! Quite the ride. Seriously!
Ngl that looked horrible 😂
All skis are rock skis
The wall has been a rock fest this year. Super gnarly line. Does it ever fill in enough to properly ski it?
Wise move at then end.
Um… one look at the rocks and I would have chosen a skiable line instead. What’s the point of side slipping and rock scraping all that vertical?
Body balance techniques.
scoping the line and compacting the snow so when it fills in more it will be more skiable
needs more rocks
Your breathing says it all.
Why??
Incredible and rad.
If you're that desperate for steeps, it's time to hit the Backcountry 😂 guessing you were scoping for a freeride comp?

mad lad!
adventure skiing
Gnarly!

Ok I'll be Debbie downer... that didn't look at all fun, and you did that by yourself?

Well done! However, I'm of the opinion that just because you can doesn't mean you should. Steep is steep but too many rocks to enjoy. Imo
Well, i say ur totally ready to to do it skiing with ur next attempt
No fall zone times 100, lol.
Nice job Zach you proved to everyone you have no common sense...and you can't say that was fun...It was stupid.
Tools not jewels🤘
sketchy
Looks horrifying my friend...that is some serious glory with the Lord.
