It’s hard not to love a nice cruiser ski run. Making your way down the mountain while enjoying as many turns as possible, sometimes that’s the best thing a skier or snowboarder could ask for. Some resorts feature top to bottom runs, extending for miles and miles over thousands of feet. If something like that sounds appealing to you, you might want to take a look at this ranking of the world’s longest ski runs.
“In this video, we’re showcasing the longest descents in the world—including one so long, it actually crosses country borders. We’ll take you from the snow-covered peaks of South America to runs in Europe that can take up to 6 hours to complete.“
Some of these runs seem to be considered continuous in a bit of a loose fashion, but others certainly fit the bill. The Peak to Creek at Whistler Blackcomb is quite the adventure, feeling like it passes through four separate climate zones as it stretches from the top of the mountain to the very bottom.
Mountainsight’s list is as follows:
- Chamonix, the Vallée Blanche
- Sölden, Schwarze Schneid
- Whistler Blackcomb, Peak to Creek
- Revelstoke, The Last Spike
- Zermatt to Cervinia
- Flaine, Les Cascades
- Alpe d’Huez, La Sarenne
- Jackson Hole, Rendezvous Bowl
- Nevados de Chillán, Las Tres MarÃas
