I need a pic of a triple black diamond sign because i'm getting a ski tattoo. I'm going to start with that either on my chest or shoulder, and then possibly get a yeti at some point in the future.

I'm 18, snowboarded for 10 years, skied since i was 3 until i started snowboarding, and just got a new pair of skis to compliment my board

sooo any designs you can post would be sweet, or just a pic. I think i want some wind and little snowflakes going around it too.

I'm retarded. What I meant to say is if Corbetts was located at Whistler it wouldn't be rated as such. It wouldn't have a sign rating or anything like that. It would be hiked to or some crazy shit like that. Jackson Hole is the bomb, but it is freezing.

No, 60 is insanely steep. You'd be hard pressed to find a 60 degree face that snow sticks to. 30 degrees is decently steep, but it's nothing too unusual. The steepest inbounds runs in North America run in the low 40 degree range.

I stand corrected, although Rambo IS the steepest lift serviced run in North America.

But the direct comparison of steepness to difficulty is sorta ridiculous since there are sooo many factors that determine the technicality of a line.

it doesn't seem that steep but this trail is groomed so it's really steep. it's look like a wall. and falling of this wall to the right = death or big injuries

It was obviously groomed so there couldnt have been anything technical about it other than being steep.

Depends on what you mean by 'Controlled', its not groomed, but it is inbounds.

well yeah im not saying its backcountry, but I would assume it patrolled.

I'd say its something like Vail's "Extreme Terrain" runs, if you're familiar with those, but its definetely not backcountry.
