Rambo is a steep, exposed, mogul-filled tree-cut run that challenges even strong skiers, requiring careful route-finding and control.
Les Deux Alpes keeps unfolding lap after lap, zone after zone, until you realize you've spent the entire day chasing terrain that never really ends.
Corbet's Couloir is considered by many to be the most difficult ski run on the continent. With a 20-foot drop and 50-degree pitch, the margin for error is slight and the consequences of blundering are severe.
Located just 15-20 minutes from downtown Banff, the adventure begins at the Gondola Base. Eight passengers at a time ascend 1,650 vertical feet over roughly three miles in about 20 minutes. Along the way are stunning views in every direction. There are three stations along the way - a mid-line directional change, the Goat's Eye offload, and finally the upper village terminal.
