Which resorts do you think have the gnarliest inbounds terrain?

From my experiences.. I'd probably have to say either Squaw Valley or Alta. Both are just plain ricockulous.

there is nothing you have to rope up to feel safe skiing in jackson...unless you get cliffed out which might happen and you have to repel over.

your right its one area and its as grnarly as you can get anywhere.

but like i said if you think alta is normal you are lost.

la grave is the carziest it only has one lift from the bottom to top, no pisted runs you have to find your own way down.

Alpine has all the same gnarliness as far as cliffs and lines as Squaw they just dont have as quite as much inbound terrain and you have to hike to get the goods.

Then again some of those tram face lines at Squaw are as gnarly as anything gets in the North America resorts but of course thats some cutthroat poachin.....

topic: gnarliest inbounds skiing.

when I read gnarly i think dangerous, not good cliffs to air.

then i think europe.

but for north america, crested butte or jackson or silverton.

for sure s&s lookers left of corbets at jackson over corbets. my claim to fame is hitting that when i got last old tram.  30+ foot air to a couloir . some snowboarder with a 130cm on or someshit like that dressed in a tux did it too.

The scary thing about this picture is it really does not give much perspective on just how steep that stuff is.  It is much steeper than it looks in that photo.  I love Silverado on a powder day.

that whole picture with the squaw tram is steep.  The angle of the photo doesnt give it due justice though.  that's why there's a TRAM to get to the top......not a lift.

That's just ONE spot of gnar at squaw

Ok... but have you ever skied it? It can vary from an easy roll in to 20' to ice.
