"The most dangerous ski runs will always be those located outside of ski resort boundaries. With no avalanche control or ski patrol to help you out in the event of an injury, a run in the backcountry comes with risks that rarely exist on resort. But what are the most dangerous ski runs on resorts? It would be near impossible to make a definitive list without injury statistics that simply don't exist, but Uncovering Skiing still took a stab at it."

Backcountry ski runs outside resort boundaries pose the greatest danger because they lack avalanche control and ski patrol, increasing risk of injury and delayed rescue. Some in-bounds resort runs present extreme hazards through steep, technical terrain, tight chutes, and significant exposure. Notable examples across North America include Paradise at Mad River Glen; Great Scott at Snowbird; Brain Damage at Crystal Mountain; Delirium Dive at Sunshine Village; Lake Chutes at Breckenridge; Christmas Chute at Alyeska; Corbet's Couloir at Jackson Hole; Senior's Run at Telluride; Eagle's Nest at Palisades Tahoe; and Rambo at Crested Butte. Many other runs may equal or exceed these in difficulty.
