One of my favorite lines at A Basin. This was the first time I dropped into it for the 2024 east wall season.

No Fall Zone. Amazing work. I was worried you were going to gun it a few times.

This is some of the manliest manning I've ever seen.

i rode this one today. was a bit more filled in but dust on crust and still very sharky. was happy i decided to snowboard today instead of ski. having 25cm less length was nice in the chokes

You’re a real rock hound there buddy. East wall and west wall have wide open runs . Hope you rented those ski’s 1:12

Is this between 2nd notch and North Pole? Almost dropped into this today but i'm glad I didn't, it gets way tighter after you go around that big rock at the top. I'd love to poke in here one day!

That was like skiing down a natural via ferrata in the Dolomites! Quite the ride. Seriously!

Does this one have a name / is it marked on that map they released of the east wall a few years ago?

@yoursweatersux 2 ай бұрын

Impressive, but that's not even skiing, that's just mountaineering with a lift ticket

@Zach_Ryan Ай бұрын

mountaineering practice can be fun also

@superconductives88 Ай бұрын

Skiing, or mountain descent on skis? 😂

@nickhexum01 2 ай бұрын

That wasn't so much a line, but more like downhill hiking with skis on. I've been there myself and you did a good job.

@ytpete2 2 ай бұрын

I'm definitely not hardcore enough to ever attempt a line like this but... does this even count as skiing? Or just like, vertical hiking?

@Zach_Ryan Ай бұрын

just scoping the line for when the snow conditions are better to ski it more proper

0:17, I can't do kick turns...cause I don't have the hip external rotation...I should fix that....they can save you in some gnarly situations

@jacobovermyer 2 ай бұрын

The wall has been a rock fest this year. Super gnarly line. Does it ever fill in enough to properly ski it?

No fall zone times 100, lol.

@JS-yj7ow Ай бұрын

Um… one look at the rocks and I would have chosen a skiable line instead. What’s the point of side slipping and rock scraping all that vertical?

@4-SeasonNature Ай бұрын

Body balance techniques.

@Zach_Ryan Ай бұрын

scoping the line and compacting the snow so when it fills in more it will be more skiable

Nice job Zach you proved to everyone you have no common sense...and you can't say that was fun...It was stupid.

@jshortyh Ай бұрын

Ok I'll be Debbie downer... that didn't look at all fun, and you did that by yourself?

@Zach_Ryan Ай бұрын

solo dolo on this one, its not always the best skiing but more so just getting to know the line for when the snow is right and you can ski it more fluidly.
