3 of Ski Magazine’s steepest ski runs in North America are in Colorado

The adrenaline. The racing heart. The excited nerves. You’re staring down a particularly steep run, mapping out your route. And then, you ride.

Ski Magazine recently listed nine of the steepest in-bounds runs in North America. Although Alaska, Vermont and Utah all had runs on the list, no state had as many as Colorado, which came in with three.

So without further ado, here are the three Colorado runs named among the steepest by Ski Magazine: Breckenridge’s Crazy Ivan 2, Crested Butte’s Rambo, and Telluride’s Senior’s.

Crazy Ivan 2, which isn’t marked on a trail map, is a double-black diamond located at 13,000 feet. Rambo forces skiers to navigate a 55-degree pitch. And Senior’s run at 13,320 feet takes people down a 52-degree gully.
