In Highlands, they ski it up pretty quickly. So let's start there. Either way, you get the idea. This is one steep, tough trail. In fact, notes Grice, a lot of the runs off Big Burn are going to be steep.
Snowboarders go back there and do bumps.
But Hanging Valley also offers up cornices and cliffs, so don't get too cocky. It always gets bumps, there's never more then three or four people on the whole run, and the snow's always good on it. If you've got powder, it's powder on top of bumps, which is fine with me. The resort's famous blue cruisers are all over Grice recommends Dallas Freeway and Sneaky's, both off the Big Burn lift. They're big and they're wide, and you can go fast on them.
