The huge bowl Left of Heart below the Red Banks provided over 2000 vertical feet of excellent skiing on perfectly pitched slopes, 40 degrees at the top easing towards 30 degrees near the runout. This simulated multiple-exposure photo captures me making a series of high-speed turns down this magnificent slope.
