Delerium Dive, one of Canada's scariest ski runs.

Canada is home to a lot of intense ski resorts with some proper expert in-bound terrain, but few are quite as intimidating as Sunshine Village’s Delirium Dive. It’s an in-bound run and it’s mitigate by ski patrol, but the trail is still guarded with some serious security.

To get onto the run, skiers must first pass through a gate that ensures they’re wearing an avalanche beacon. Additionally, the resort requires that all who attempt it have full avalanche gear and are with a partner. That’s not unheard of at ski resorts in North America, but it’s certainly rare. German ski instructor Marius Quast took on the wild run while visiting the continent.

Skiers who pass through the intimidating gate (with avalanche gear and a partner) are able to access a fair number of options to check out, including some wild chutes with 2,500 feet of steep vertical and open bowls.
