Dilettante’s Demise

A dilettante is someone who dabbles in something for his own pleasure, does anyone come to mind? Apparently, someone was trying hard to bring skiers to an ultimate heart stopping skiing experience for his own pleasure, the demise part is open to speculation. The run has basically 2 skiable routes. One is through a reverse S shaped gully in which it is too narrow to turn through the middle. The other is by snaking down a ridge and threading through a cliff band. In a good snow year, this is bordering on a sane option. This gnarly little gem faces straight north and good snow can be found late in the year.
