I was gonna call Skillet, but Trackhead beat me to it.
(not that I've skied it ...)
Superstar couloir, I've gazed down on that before, it looks like you make one turn and then fall off a 1,000 foot cliff. Awesome.
The best couloir in north america has to be the 2nd chute at A-Basin.

Epic.
Kieners Route, Longs Peak. It's still waiting for a 1st descent. Trackhead, I know this will make you twitch. Still waiting for the right conditions. Last May the route was in it's prime for a ski descent. Haven't seen it look so good in many years.
It's the route in red:
