There are mountains that are skied.
And others that are remembered for a lifetime.
In freeride, not all lines are the same. Some become a reference. Places where the slope, snow, and exposure force real decisions. Where the mountain makes clear who’s in charge.
Over the years, certain descents have defined what it really means to ski alpine terrain.
Not for its fame.
But for what it feels like to be up there.
When the mountain sets the rules
Freeride is not just about going down fast or looking for powder snow.
Try to read the light.
Understanding the terrain.
Choosing when to enter… and when not to.
From the endless glaciers of Chamonix to the spines of Alaska or the deep forests of Hokkaido, there are lines that have marked generations of riders.
They are places where every turn matters a little more.

The lines that built modern freeride
Some descents have become true icons:
- La Vallée Blanche — Chamonix
- Corbet’s Couloir — Jackson Hole
- Bec des Rosses — Verbier
- La Grave — French Alps
- Mount Yotei — Japan
- Alaskan Spines — Alaska
Different terrains. Opposite conditions.
But they all share something:
The feeling of being exactly where you want to be.
But the best line never appears on a list
We can talk about mythical mountains.
We can point out legendary descents.
But every rider knows:
The best freeride line is almost never the most famous.
It’s the one you remember years later.
The one you shared with friends.
The one that came after waiting for a perfect storm.
Because what makes a descent legendary is not the place.
It’s how you experienced it.
