"While some of us are hunting powder runs or perfectly built park routes, there are many skiers out there who make it to the mountain in search of the longest continuous runs possible. The leg burners, as what might call them, often run from mountain tops to bases, with stunning views the entire way. German ski instructor Marius Quast compiled his top 5 favorite longest ski runs in the world. These aren't necessarily the longest runs by measurement, but the notorious long runs that offer the best skiing experience."
"Schwarze Schneide, Sölden, Austria - Starting at 10653 feet, this around 9.3 mile run (measured at 7.3 miles) descends from high-alpine views through moderate sections and forest trails to the village. The Last Spike, Revelstoke, Canada - Listed as around 9.3 miles (measured at 6 miles), this run features wide groomed slopes ideal for carving and freeriding, connected by various trails to the valley station."
Top five long continuous downhill runs include Schwarze Schneide (Sölden, Austria), The Last Spike (Revelstoke, Canada), Sarenne (Alpe d'Huez, France), Kleinmatterhorn to Zermatt (Switzerland), and Hochjoch Totale (Silvretta Montafon, Austria). Schwarze Schneide descends from 10,653 feet through alpine vistas, moderate sections, and forest trails. The Last Spike provides wide groomed slopes suited to carving and freeriding with trail connections to the valley. Sarenne is a lengthy black run dropping from Pic Blanc through steep mogul fields and winding sections. Kleinmatterhorn to Zermatt crosses the Theodul Glacier with continuous Matterhorn views, while Hochjoch Totale offers long uninterrupted descents and a 1,476-foot ski tunnel.
