Q&A with RAMBO:
Q: So, you’re Crested Butte’s most difficult ski line?
A: Oh no, not by a long shot. I’m not nearly as hard as anything off Skadi Ridge…or half the stuff you can ski from NF Cliffs to 3rd Bowl. I just got labeled as “North America’s steepest cut run” and now I’m a GoPro magnet, ha ha.
Q: Well, you must off good skiing then?
A: No, wouldn’t say that. I mostly offer challenging side slipping and minimal turns between thickets of overgrown vegetation, stumps and rocks. That’s kinda my deal.
Q: Well, why are you so popular Rambo?
A: I have no idea. Why are the Kardashians so popular? People just love me, even though I’m mean. SKI WITH CARE

Shortly after that Q&A session was posted they followed up with this informative Venn Diagram:
