If you’ve ever heard anyone at the bar waxing heroic about how Chamonix, France offers the toughest inbounds terrain in the world, here’s a little video evidence to back up that popular claim.
Québécois freeride skier and bungee jumping professional Nick Steers ventured across the pond to ski at Chamonix and came across this vertigo inducing hike accessed line that he just had to try. There is a fixed rope at the top of the ridge line for skiers to safely lower themselves down to the drop zone and multiple chutes to choose from once you are clicked in and ready to go. Nick opted for a short but ultra steep 65 degree slope that spilled back out on to the main trail, it was predictably spicy but he skied like a champ.
If you are looking for a resort with loads of heart pumping side quests, Chamonix is the place to go.
