Yes, the initial pitch is steep, and a fall there would almost guarantee a long slide, but… it is wide, groomed, and faces roughly north, so the snow surface is usually quite forgiving. A lovely cruise back through the forest. A very enjoyable run for anybody who is a strong intermediate or better.
OK so, the problem with ski enthusiasts and steep slopes is that many overestimate their skills and go for a run on a slope that does not match their skiing level, they steer, because they cant handle the speed and after 1-2h bumps begin to form.
Not even close to one of the steepest slopes in the world. Maybe in Europe, but that'a a single black in the West Coast or the Rockies of America. (Single black is equivalent to a black piste in Europe, but we have double blacks after that, and sometimes EX double blacks or triple blacks.) This looks very similar to a run in a ski resort called Mammoth. It's called Cornice Bowl and it's one of the harder single blacks.
i made it 45 years ago, no piste like today, 1 m snow, an absolutely dream. soft snow blowing over your head. i will remember that downhill forever..

I went down this slope many years ago when moguls were all around with no grooming in this part of Lech. It seems so much easier now.
is it as icy as Harakiri in Zillertal?
Vette shit maat!
Great run and speed. Good skis, I have the same.
That didn’t look that bad. I love to ski in Lech. Zurs was more difficult.
