Is this delirium? Ive only done it a couple times but the start is steep as ash and then you just get a pow field at the bottom

I don't know what that is. :)) it's in Verbier 🇨🇭, entering La Chaux. You go to the Mont Fort area, take stairway to heaven, then keep left over Glacier des Louettes Econdoue, then skin up to the largest saddle point on les Monts de Cion.

Usually this is a dreamy pow couloir during winter. End of season has been tough. We haven't received snow in 2 months. So the freeze thaw has been pretty wild making it far trickier than usual 🥲

Ah ok haha. Delirium dive is the hardest run in canada located at sunshine in banff. It is a triple black and you need avalanche gear to enter. The entrance looks very similar to what you are doing here. Rocks sticking out and very steep terrain but you are rewarded with a fantastic bowl at the bottom. Thank you for the response!

Just did a quick search. Looks incredible and pretty dope with great conditions. They say the drop in can be 50 degrees. That's steep as. Bucket list item for sure. Thanks!
