There are many horrifyingly steep ski runs all through North America. Some are simply flat out cliffs, whereas others are brutally icy and grip is close to non-existent. Crested Butte‘s Rambo is thought to be the steepest man-made ski run within the continent, with a constant pitch of 55° and infrequently little or no protection. Should you go onto google and search for an image, you’ll possible see rocks, bushes, and loads of massive moguls.
However after a giant powder dump, Rambo seems slightly bit completely different. There are nonetheless bushes and rocks protruding, and it’s nonetheless very a lot stuffed with moguls, but it surely seems a bit extra pillowy when there’s a ship load of snow. It doesn’t make it look a lot simpler although.
“One of many fortunate first dozen-or-so to go down Rambo upon the opening North Face Elevate after 2-3 toes of snow accumulation throughout a historic storm within the Gunnison-Crested Butte area.“
