Here's the now famous "Black 69" run, a bowl of powder off the beaten track that no one seemed to go to except for us, we sure as hell weren't complaining, especially after our 4th consecutive day visiting it:

Crazy and I trekked for 30mins up the area of power you can see on the right for the ultimate power run. Here's me at the top:

Getting to Black 69 involved 4 chairlifts:

and 2 Gondola rides, one of which has the biggest span between pylons of any in Europe (from one mountain to another):

Or something like that:
