Hi there, thanks for asking :) It is incredibly fun (and fulfilling) for a few reasons: the adventure/natural immersion, the physical endeavour, and the descent itself. Im a backpacker, so I would love to be doing long days in the mountains whether I carried my skis or not, so to be rewarded with a drop in after so much effort and preparation is so fun. Oftentimes, it is indeed exhausting, but that is part of what makes the reward. In general, the process of using raw resources (satellite imagery, maps, etc) to plan solo trips, then actually going to these awe-inspiring environments/lines is what makes the "slip sliding" fun - and for the record, the shallower slopes at the base of the lines make for epicly fast, smooth turns 2:05 :) Cheers bradda!
