  • Hop aboard for a first person view of the EXTREME DOUBLE BLACK DIAMOND Gully Glades at Eldora Mountain in Colorado! This is one of my favorite trails on the mountain. Be careful skiing and snowboarding in there as the trees are thick!
    Historically this area was once part of Brian's Glades and was colloquially referred to as the Fun Gully (if you could find it). After the great Eldora revolution of 2016, two new entrances were cut to "Gully Glades" along with the 2 new trails cut through which provide welcome escape if your legs get too gassed!
    Have fun out there and remember to always wear your helmet!!
    Stay Stoked!!

      I’m starting to really get into it, my goal is to go enough and get as much practice as I can.
      How’s it been going for you so far?

    Surprisingly those kind of look like east coast glades at the start. I love the glade out east.

    Boutta go skiing again pretty soon, started about 2 years ago, only gone like 10 times with about 50-60 hours under my belt, got a hold of skiing within the first few days, and think I’m ready to take on a black Diamond, and after seeing this vid, im definitely ready.

      Ski moguls. Most double blacks have moguls and or rocks/ trees/ bumps, so practicing moguls will help you the most to be ready for double blacks.

    • @Nicks_Colorado_Channel
      @Nicks_Colorado_Channel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I'd recommend the upper half of jolly jug glades at Eldora for flatter more wide spread trees. Most glades are inherently listed as double blacks but don't let that intimidate you. Start with glades you can cut out of back to the trail like jolly jug. Cheers!
