ski run

The two resorts are connected by a ski run off a ridgeline and their base areas are a short drive or bus ride apart.

Horvath told investigators that before what was to be the last ski run of the day, Russell attempted to land on a ridgeline but the helicopter lifted off for an attempted second landing.

I was even more surprised when I dropped into a favorite ski run and snow boiled up around my thighs and a cold spray of snow hit my face.

“We’ve already played Russian Roulette with the climate, we’re already on that ski run – we might as well take some more risks.”

It may resemble natural snow to the naked eye on a ski run, but the natural and artificial snow “feel” very different.
