    crampons and ice axe mate... one slip and you're a footnote on the news. Good skills tho.

    Climbing up those rocks in your ski boots? Yikes.

    Wow! Top section looked pretty thin and chalky. Feel like I’d want an ice axe or at least a whippet for some of that ascent too.

    I love your vids! By far, some of the best I’ve seen on UA-cam. No load music or screaming profanity or other nonsense. Just epic runs down steep, technical terrain.

    Boots are tougher than I thought. I wish I could do that kind of thing.

      Same man, this peak looks really awesome to ski but I have no chance hiking up that thing in ski boots. Still, I would be super happy if I could hike to and ski Gold Hill 9, and Dihedral Chute in Black Iron Bowl!

    honestly the hike looks 50x as difficult as the run itself

      The hike anyone can do with some training the run is not hard once you know what you are doing but to get enough skill to do palmyra takes years

    i never would be able to ski this, mainly because i have a slight fear of falling and i cant hike at all with ski boots
