"Several times, what do you need to know?"
Nothing, just saw a picture of someone on a ridge and wondered if it was VB. I skied it once - they lied to us about the conditions, it was sheet ice nearly all the way! Day from hell....lol! Spectacular though... |

It’s ice most of the time as it’s over 3k feet. If you’re looking to do it again, I’d advise booking a local guide. I trained under Nick Parks about 15 years ago. It’s dangerous as hell if you only ski 2 weeks a season. People die on it every year.
It took me a whole season to understand as I lived out there. |

Oh we went with a local guide, wouldn't dare otherwise, I found it all pretty scary. I'm feeling 'Been there, done that, tick it off.....' , I would only be persuaded again of there were perfect snow conditions I think. |

To get the best experience up there, I’d get yourself on a Freeride course, there are various courses and most importantly it’ll help improve your technique. Also, having better technique means you’ll get the best experience. |
