Is there something comparable? A huge, high-consequence rail that skiers return to every few years to up the ante?

pretty gnarly, and maybe actually reasonable. this is outside of a walgreens somewhere in denver.. and after the curve, it goes down another 12 ft or so.

There is a f-d-f-d-f-angle to the left down in Winter park that's about 45 feet long. It's so sick, but too many people were falling into the pond on the other side while trying to grind it so they put guards on it

I've got one or two on the campus of my college that are super long and steep, but not technical at all. I'll post them up tomorrow and see what people think.

Jacobs Ladder is the world’s longest straight staircase, rising over 1000ft up a sheer cliff

I thought The Niesen funicular staircase was the longest?
Its in Switzerland next to a tram and it rises up to an altitude of 2,336 meters with, and someone must have counted them, 11,674 steps.
And omg, there's a rail next to it:

Chads gap: 1 mistake and you die

And the rail you posted is qute similar, as if you do the mistake and fall off the wrong side you're pretty much a spot of blood on top of dirt.

so I agree with you mr!

word. the chad of rails can't be some zig-zagging 20-kink. that would be more like the gnarly pillow line of rails. the chad of rails is more like this. huge, fast, simple.
a switch-up on that middle kink is hard to imagine but possible, just like hitting chad's switch was before tanner did it.
