How a Pro Skier Tackles America's Steepest Trail

"Bad news: Rambo got a haircut. "Good news: It's more of a mullet. 'Cause it’s definitely a party and definitely still fun as heck," says Peterson in the caption of an Instagram video of him destroying a perfectly good pair of skis, I mean skiing, the run. 

All jokes aside, Peterson skis this with so much commitment and intention, it's truly impressive. You couldn't pay me to point my skis at some of those rocks and trees the way he does, but I guess maybe that's a perk of being a pro skier and getting free skis?

This run would be epic on a pow day, but this video is... not that. 

How does he do it though? I don't actually know, I'm not that good at skiing. I took one look at Rambo the time I skied Crested Butte and said 'nahhhh, I'm good.'

But, if you Google 'how steep is rambo crested butte,' Google's new AI feature pulls up some tips on how to ski it.

The first tip is 'be fully committed.' Check okay, Peterson just hops right on in there and smashes into a mogul.

Second, it says 'your ski tips will dangle off the edge.' Yup, that also checks out, but seems like Peterson doesn't dwell too hard on it before sending it. 

'The conditions improve as you navigate down hill.' Okay, that doesn't really seem like a tip, but it definitely seems true. Because Rambo is so steep, snow tends to slough off the top and pile up towards the bottom, so the bottom has more coverage and probably skis a lot better.

'Standing at the top is definitely the scariest part.' Yup, okay also checks out, seems like we already covered that though? 'Once you're about a third of the way down, the lines become nearly perfect.' This one makes me think Google AI hasn't done much good skiing, and Peterson definitely has so... 

In conclusion, I don't really think Google gave the best tips on how to ski Rambo, so probably just watch Peterson's video a bunch more times and take a couple leaves out of his book.
