Dude! Where’s Buttermilk?
dude!
why isn’t heavenly on the list ?
porcodio ke stronzate!!!!!!!!
No Revelstoke? I guess the Freeride World Tour stops for the beer and poutine..
kicking horse!
I always had the impression the kicking horse was steep as.
I agree, but you forgot Snowbird & Alta.
No kicking horse or Louise?
Ummmm Whistler is by no means steep. 90% of that mtn is for cruisers, then you have the top part with some steeps. With that logic I’d put Alpental in Washington on the list, since it’s pretty much a smaller version of Jackson Hole.
How is squaw in the picture and not even on the list. Half the mountain is steeper than these.
