Thanks for sharing! Your video and honest review inspired our group to tackle 94 Turns together. We have varying degrees of ability and confidence but all found your video extremely helpful. Thanks for making amazing videos and have fun out there! Keep the shred alive. -The A-Team, A Stoked Group of Average Skiers from Pennsylvania
It's super impressive how much your confidence is grown in such a short time. To even ski to the top of that run takes a lot of guts. Skis are expensive, rocks suck. I really appreciate the realness of your skiing experiences. Thanks for sharing.
Man you’re getting so much better, keep pushing yourself!! Remember the snow by the tree edge is almost always the best. Love watching makes me excited for the winter
Progression feels great! I used to get in nightmares that I got stuck on a cliff or something and wake up. We all been there. After tearing my ACL 2 times I don't ski anymre. Much. At least until I lose weight again and only to go with friends. And have fun not be my old self and do crazy stuff.
Practice straight lining on groomed trails (safely). Focus on trying to relax and breathe while you practice. Look further ahead than you think. You'll eventually build confidence with speed and that'll provide you another option for getting down stuff like that.
@ewallt Agreed. That's why you practice on things that a) you know well, b) are groomed, c) are well inside your ability level, and d) don't have people or crosscut below. It's a tool to develop over time but it is important to develop because in short bursts, it can be the safest way down.
@ The only terrain I could think of where straight lining would be the safest way down would be a couloir or cliff, something like that. Almost always you’d have enough room to side slip or jump turn. And in those rare situations where you’d have to straight line it seems reckless to do so unless you’re either with a guide or on terrain you know well. Do you disagree?
@ @ I greatly enjoyed that part of your video because it was 💯 authentic. Then it dawned on me that you were indeed frightened in 'Fright Gully'... Only joking, I realize that the resort very likely didn't pay you to get frightened in 'Fright Gully'.
Fright Gully is a poor choice in early season conditions; however, it does look pretty inviting compared to the ever steepening pitch of the Lower East Face, at least until you get to the choke. The only real option when there is thin cover on Fright Gully is to just accept the inevitable core shot and ski over the rocks. Continuing down the Lower East Face would have been the better choice and would have provided you with multiple options of reaching the Dutch Hollow run out. Those folks you asked for advice led you astray. That said, if you were to come back to Canyons and ski it today, February 2024, Fright Gully might be the easier option.
Thank you for all the info! I will have to revisit sometime. I really enjoyed that terrain otherwise. It wasn't pretty but my skis were totally fine at least 😄

Thank you! This is why I usually buy used demos 😆
Well done!! You are my inspiration
Thank you so much 😊

That took courage, nice job!
I love Mystic Pines, but I’ve never gone down under the lift, but stayed to the right where the trees are. Not too much longer, I hope!
Babe that new AngelinaOutside just dropped!
Talus Garden, yes. Fright Gully no. Commit to memory. The only run I’ve done up there was 94 turns, which I remember as not that bad.

Miss your posts. Enjoy them so much. Will you be back?
Thank you so much! Just uploaded a new one :)
Straight line it !!!

I'll try that! I'm not good with straight lines at all lol
Seems like a really bad idea to straight line terrain that you’ve never seen before that has you terrified and up you have no idea what’s below you.

That's horrible advice.
Was that a paid promotion on "fright gully"?
what do you mean?

Welcome to off piste. Don't worry we've all been there, but I did have to laugh.
That's a lot more off piste than I bargained for 😂
At least it's not ice.
Yeah I hate that too 😅
hit me up when you visit telluride next!
December conditions 😭
I know 🥲
🏃 *Promo SM*
Couldn't watch all the way through. The MUSIC was atrocious!
