Marquee Route:
Blackcomb’s test piece is the Couloir Extreme, a 40-degree chute within gaping view of the Jersey Cream lift. Drop into the main gut or head down the steeper and rockier skier’s left wall. Then traverse high and left to the wind-loaded slopes of Jersey Cream Bowl.
Off-Broadway:
From the top of the Solar Coaster Express, follow 7th Avenue to Last Resort and drop right into steep trees consistently passed over by skiers traversing to the 7th Heaven chair.
