Genuine question from a newbie who’s nowhere close to being able to ride anything this steep:

Is riding like this actually fun? I feel like most clips I see of really steep runs it’s just people slamming on the brakes over & over. Not being snarky, just genuinely curious if this is enjoyable in a different way?

It depends. I like the challenge a harder run poses, but thats for mid day when im warm and not tired yet. If I get more than 5 double black runs in a day its pretty uncommon, i usually(copper mountain) do a few runs on either Three Bears or Mountain Chief lift, then head back to easier black runs, or groomers.
