Grande monte glacier Tignes, Valley Blanche from Cormayer to Chamonix. And a black off piste run that goes off the map to right under a chair lift in Serre Chevalier and goes all the way to Monetier. There’s a similar one in Morgins Porte de Sollie too off the back. Spelling is probably out in one or of the above but got a bit excited by your post!
Psychopath Gully, Breckenridge. Went down it because we liked the name, on a crazy skiing Saturday after a week at work at the then Philips Laser Magnetics Storage plant at Colorado Springs. No insurance, couldn't find anybody selling it, rented skis and boots , wearing hill walking waterproofs.. Myself and a work colleague skied the area until we ran out of energy.. American "Double Diamond Black" runs are more like French red runs.
Good question, but not sure i have a favourite! Normally, I'm just interested in covering the mountain in a week and getting the most out of it. I'm also a boarder so prefer the side piste or soft piste areas instead! If i had to choose, I'd probably say any tree lined piste with twists and turns, somewhere like The Stash in Avoriaz.
