It’s honestly one of biggest confidence creators I’ve had in skiing. Even if you take it super slow it gives you this sense of accomplishment. I usually head to HV 1-5 times a year. But since Covid havnt been able to.

This hill is always a sheet of ice. Not a lot of fun but making it down without getting hurt is a confidence builder for sure.

When I was still a beginner snowboarder, my school went to Holiday valley for a ski club trip. We had been saving up money and fundraising the whole year to afford it. Probably about 45 minutes into us hitting the mountain, my friends, who were all skiers, decided we should go ride down The Wall. They all stood at the top of it waiting for someone to go first and I decided I would do it. I made it the whole way down the slope miraculously and was so proud of myself, only to lose edge right after the part where it flattens out at the bottom. I had too much speed and ended up falling super hard. Good times. It made me a way better rider though.

the issue I have with the wall is that for the speeds reached when actually skied (not just side slipping) it becomes very dangerous due to the beginner trails that merge right at the bottom where your speed can still be very high - you also have to plan for the narrow bridge and the ski lift towers ...avoid hitting those ;)

The wall is " kinda " " easy " Just GOTTA commit & makes quick turns, & have a sense of feeling ice. Knowing if your edges are gripping, do t fight it , got for the slide ride until they grab. If you ski mid west / east coast. As mentioned. It's a huge booster for confidence !

The Wall isn't too difficult. Whenever I skied it, it was a wall of ice, which makes it tricky. Just make sure you have sharp edges on your skis.

This is why the run rating system is a joke. Steep groomers are not “double black diamonds” like the only time a run should be a “double black diamond” is if there’s a chute, cliff, mandatory air or some kind of obstacle that makes it “expert”
@joelp5093
@joelp5093 3 жыл бұрын
I mostly agree with you but think in this case the double black is to deter inexperienced skiiers. Most skiiers could get down a black diamond like Yodeler or Foxfire if they go slowly but you can't really do that on the Wall. I've seen people get seriously hurt on the Wall and if it was a single black and had a less intimidating name it would definitely happen more often

Been to both... it’s steeper than it looks in person and it’s normally all Ice at the top. It’s not much of a run but if you try to turn at the top you’ll be on your can. Eastern trail conditions not nearly as good as the west that’s what makes it challenging
