post a clip of a skier or boarder shredding a line that is insanely steep, exposed, narrow, rocky and dangerous. most difficult line wins

I've seen that line from the top of jackson, its ballsy as fuck. But doable if you don't mind the 50 foot cliff.

the only way a skiing movie will ever be a better movie, and by movie i mean a better piece of filming, caliber of riders, and difficulty of terrain than the art of flight is if the somehow incorporate this line into the movie along with the best riders and equal or better filming quality and unlimited budget.

Shit... Straight lining that would be nuts. You'd need to be on like 210cm stiff as hell skis.

I got no pics but in Japan on the main highway between karuzawa and Nagano there's this insane rock step line. It's like right of the highway too. I've seen someone do it and I actually think a solly team rider did it for freeski tv but it's so scary. I stood at the top of it a few years back and totally punked out. It's like 4-5 15-20 foot drops to a at least 60' drop. All on a super steep face in rapid succession to a damn near flat landing. Super sick.

are you kidding me. i have been looking at that line for my entire life dreaming of doing it.

and its not that hard of a run... http://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=7923 definitely wouldnt have to straight line it.

Thank you for bringing common sense into this thread.

It's not the steepness it's the snowpack, getting there, logistical difficulty for that line.

Also it's near Telluride.

If we're serious there is stuff in Chamonix that I don't even want to look at.  I would do the majority of stuff in AK before touching certain lines in Cham.  It's called the death sport capital of the world for a reason.

i couldnt agree more, i spent last season in in europe riding mostly chamonix and verbier and the lines over there are insane. i have never before looked at something and said, its impossible to ski that and if you try, you will probably die
