i made it 45 years ago, no piste like today, 1 m snow, an absolutely dream. soft snow blowing over your head. i will remember that downhill forever..

Yes, the initial pitch is steep, and a fall there would almost guarantee a long slide, but… it is wide, groomed, and faces roughly north, so the snow surface is usually quite forgiving. A lovely cruise back through the forest. A very enjoyable run for anybody who is a strong intermediate or better.

I had no problems on this run as well, the Zugerberg run was far more difficult back then

is it as icy as Harakiri in Zillertal?

I went down this slope many years ago when moguls were all around with no grooming in this part of Lech. It seems so much easier now.

You're right! I did it last week. Very steep and long but relatively easy without mountainous moguls!

OK so, the problem with ski enthusiasts and steep slopes is that many overestimate their skills and go for a run on a slope that does not match their skiing level, they steer, because they cant handle the speed and after 1-2h bumps begin to form.

that's what is ruining Zürs/Lech lately and the connection of the Trittkopf to the lower valeys made it worse. That's what happens when you sell out too hard. Money pours in but with it, a lot of rich enthusiasts/amateurs and not the people who really commit to the sport.

@@schmakibaki yep it seems dangerous. Like I said skiers should pick the appropriate slopes to have fun and not break/die/kill someone. Skiing became somewhat popular these days and people take more pictures on the slope rather than skiing. Sad story, but what the hell, I guess we should use them as gates.

@@schmakibaki the four guys did ski in the area although it was closed due to high avalanche risk as another commentator mentioned on top of that they did not ski the actual slope but off piste in an area where it’s even more steep and where even someone like me with one little knowledge of avalanches (I have been going freeriding in Lech for over ten years since I was 14 but always with guides since I don’t think I could estimate the risks right) sees that that’s a bad idea (even in the right conditions)

That didn’t look that bad. I love to ski in Lech. Zurs was more difficult.

Great run and speed. Good skis, I have the same.

Not even close to one of the steepest slopes in the world. Maybe in Europe, but that'a a single black in the West Coast or the Rockies of America. (Single black is equivalent to a black piste in Europe, but we have double blacks after that, and sometimes EX double blacks or triple blacks.) This looks very similar to a run in a ski resort called Mammoth. It's called Cornice Bowl and it's one of the harder single blacks.
