Attention all Flyboys, Flygirls, Freestylers, and Carvers! Want a killer snowboarding trip? Here’s this year’s top picks for the most challenging snowboard runs in the world. So, grab your board and prepare for ride of your life.
Corbet’s Couloir—Jackson Hole, Wyoming, US
If you’re hard-core, then this is the place for you. Take the cable-car to the top of Rendezvous Mountain, tighten your bindings, and take the plunge. This course is all about the entry through Couloir’s chute which includes a two story drop onto a 55 degree slope. The narrow passage between skull-crashing rocks is legendary for putting terror into the most seasoned boarders. Fail to make the correct turn in the chute and you’ll redefine the term “killer” snowboard runs.
Delirium Dive—Goat’s Eye Mountain, Alberta, Canada
Corbet’s Couloir not extreme enough? Then venture up to Alberta Canada and try a slope named after the delirious people that attempt to board it—Delirium Dive. However, if you want to attempt this run, wear an avalanche transceiver and carry a probe. This slope features a wide band of rock that funnels into 50 degree channel pitch, making for perfect avalanche conditions. Plus, a visibility from the top is usually poor, so you’ll have to practically navigate the chute blind. But if you’re crazy enough to think you can out manoeuvre nature, the Delirium Dive is the run for you.
Silver Fox—Snowbird, Utah, US
Love height and speed? Take a quick eight minute tram ride 11,000 feet up Hidden Peak to the gate of Silver Fox, one of the fastest double black diamond runs in the United States. Here, conditions vary—one day the snow is like powder, the next day it’s bullet proof. No matter the snow conditions, Silver Fox’s fearsome path through nooks and crannies, steeps and deeps, provides an unequalled experience for the most advanced boarders.
La Chavanette–Avoriaz, France
If a slope like Silver Fox isn’t fast enough, hop on over to France and try out La Chavanette. Known as the Swiss Wall, La Chavanette has the most rapid descent recorded on any piste map. The terror in this run lies once you’ve completed the first few turns and approach the 300 meter drop called The Wall. This heavily-moguled run calls for extreme physical dexterity and strength.
Body Bag—Crested Butte Resort, Colorado, US
If you survive the Swiss Wall and are still hell-bent on finding a killer snowboard trail, visit the slope that lives up to its name—The Body Bag. Located in the Colorado Rockies, this slope boasts a 55 degree 275f foot vertical drop and has been ranked as the steepest cut run in North America. Perhaps this run has earned it’s name because it’s ranked as the fourth deadliest slope in the world.
Over all, if you’re into extreme snowboarding, the above slopes won’t disappoint. However, there’s a reason why they’re deemed killer snowboard runs. So, if you happen to have the misfortune of boarding them, please update your life insurance policy!
