I was lucky enough to be attend the PSIA instructors College at Snowbird in 1983. It was a great week! I remember looking to the right from the top of the tram and I saw the pipeline. It looked very skiable, but as I was training with members of the PSIA Demonstration Team, there was no time to get to it. I didn't realize how difficult it is to get to the top of the run.. Great job guys for all your effort and for sharing this amazing run with us!

@@patrickmcmillan8285 The scramble is the hardest part, but it’s not so bad. The first guy in this vid did it right, the second guy down almost gave me a heart attack. Don’t try and climb down the rocks. As far as a partner: go to ski patrols office in the morning if it’s open with your gear (beacon probe shovel) and you’ll find a partner. They tend to close the gate by 10-10:30 in the spring. The best time to do pipeline is in late spring (late April/early may). They almost always open it if there’s a hard freeze overnight (~28 degrees f) and a regular spring day ahead.

I get the argument of "It should be difficult to get to extreme runs" but I feel that that argument only applies when it's something that if you can't pass, it just means you can't get up to the run. For something like that rock scramble they should probably install stairs or remove the rocks somehow.
@patrickmcmillan8285
Күн бұрын
I dont know about stairs or removing the rocks, but snowbird has ropes in other areas like one of the get serious chutes that they could put on the scramble. that'd make me feel more comfortable, at least. I guess the question there would be where to anchor since the get serious chute anchor is a tree. But they could put in a bolt or something. idk
@Kirbey
Күн бұрын
i think they would've put something like that in there if it weren't for the fact that that run opens maybe twice a year. It's probably just not worth it to them to put in any work up there, and also a simple case of too many people would be upset about it to outweigh the amount of money it would take/how much it would get used.
@lintemann1029
22 сағат бұрын
Not totally sure that pipeline is even considered in bounds. Nonetheless the rock step is the crux of the ski line and for sure not easy given its with mixed class 3-4 scrambling with exposure and often time rotten snow, but doing any alteration would dilute it as a ski mountaineering objective. It can be made pretty casual with preparation of bringing ice tools
@andrewhope9358
18 сағат бұрын
this is more of an in-bounds ski mountaineering line, the wild aspect of it is part of the appeal. furthermore, what would you attach a rope to? there isn’t a good place to put bolts on the run before the scramble. i’m mainly surprised that ice axes are not mandatory on the run, if you brought one, it would make the crux much more manageable
