A good rule of thumb with heady skiing is always be humble, don’t overthink the run, and with a run like this one, don’t frickin push your comfort zone cause you fall on this and you’re gonna get messed up.

I lived there on and off in the early 90’s and powder skis were thin, straight 203-207 GS skis. I switched pretty quickly to a 163 Craig Kelly board and mountaineering boots and that allowed for more direct, big turns down the south face. Can’t wait to go back, a few of my Lenin and Marx runs still stand out as some of the few things in my life too great for words. Whatever level folks are at, it’s all about having fun. Thanks for sharing!

@@Nicks_Colorado_Channel It was my first trip out west. I have grown up skiing the Northeast. I hired a Tram guide for the day (Brian) was just an awesome guy! I remember we checked in with the patrol in the shack and picked up a couple locals for our group before we dropped into North Summit. The two locals could not believe I was about to ski the snowfields on my first trip to Big Sky and my first trip out west. I skied the shit out of it down into the chutes and out through the trees below. Best run of my life!! After that day I spent the rest of the trip skiing with the kiddos and brining my 8-year-old son down any blacks he could handle. We go lucky and skied right by the local mountain goat!! I am just about bursting at the seams waiting for the snow to start dropping!! Have a great season.

"This may be the most tragic excuse of a skiing video I have ever wasted my minutes on this earth on. I expected to see any modicum of difficulty and any cliff jump over 2 feet, but I was left with larry the cucumber saying "siiiiiickk" at 7:04 at the most basic trick I've ever seen in my life. I would be shocked if anyone in this pathetic excuse of a video surpassed 5 miles per hour while traversing down a "mountain" on "skis". The hike up to little fattys was more impressive than the skiing itself. Anyway, keep it up can't wait for the next one! :)" -My friend Evan

Double triple quadruple all looks the same. Three ladies ⛷️ in front of me and my son on Lake Louise Whitehorn Gully D, she fell not even 1/4 the way down, she fell all the way to the bottom…badly bleeding nose…was lucky…anyways…to anyone going down these runs, ski responsibly and don’t fall!

Triples are a thing, lots of mountains have them, they just don’t mark them on the trail maps. Whistler and Blackcomb for instance, have six and twelve (named) triples respectively, none of which are listed on the map but are absolutely there.
