"Arapahoe Basin's extreme terrain is some of the most accessible in the state, with the East Wall standing tall above the ski area. Those willing to hike can access some serious chutes via the North Pole or Willy's Wide Staircase."
"Aspen Highlands features some of the steepest in-bounds skiing anywhere. It does require a pretty strenuous 40-minute hike, though a snowcat can make that a bit shorter."
"Telluride features a combination of large quantities of high-quality expert terrain and backcountry access and heli-skiing. A ridge hike and drop into Palmyra Basin accesses the intense Gold Hill chutes."
"Crested Butte has a lot of iconic runs, including the steepest tree cut run in the country, Rambo, but it's full of proper expert terrain elsewhere."
