Without some sidestepping up above the lift shack. When you get off the lift, you have to immediately stop, then side step up behind the the operator's control shack, then traverse along the top of the ridge, occassionally sidestepping or skate stepping into a higher track, until you reach a narrow trail and traverse that to the edge of the cliff system Corbet's cuts through.

You have to know exactly where it is. That prevents people from entering it by accident.

The initial plunge stops most people. It is vertical anywhere from ten feet to ten meters, and the cliff many Kings and Queens contenders jump from is 30 meters- about 90 feet.

The landing is about 55 degrees and remains that angle for the next 300 vertical feet, before it joins another run under the lift and flattens out to a blue square.

If you fall, it's unlikely you'll hit and rocks. You plunge into the bottom of the couloir and slide down under the lift onto the flatter run. I never had that experience. Never fell in it. My initial aerials were limited to gelandy, back scrarcber, and a couple times did helicopter. Never flipt there. Too much could go wrong and you can't rely on timing if you undercorrect or overcorrect.

During Kings and Queens the area grooms and softens the landing area snow. Reduces risk of injury and out of control fall from there down. But the softer snow makes your landing stick a little, and many people fall there from that.

A harder run imo is Al's Run at Taos. It is a 2,800 foot unbroken steep drop of black and double black diamond deep tight moguls, with two chairlifts, one on each side. Riding are members of the PSIA Demonstration team, and you know they're critiquing you. I could never ski that whole thing without taking a couple breaks.

I was always aware of where I was when doing ballet on a green slope, to not frighten or intimidate beginners. I needed to practice, and chose out of the way parts of the slope.

At Taos when I did ballet, I occasionally heard disparagement from a lift where people could see me. On mogul runs, I made sure the run was clear before taking off. That's also part of your prep, as you study a fall line you intend to ski. Same reason as above- don't want to frighten, threaten, or intimidate somebody struggling to ski moguls. Never was disparaged skiing moguls, even though ballet skiing is much harder.
