- One of the toughest and steepest runs I have done to date, Marx is a challenging double black diamond run off of Lone Peak at Big Sky. My sister took a pretty nasty fall after a slight misstep, thankfully she was completely uninjured despite sliding approximately 100 yards and reaching speeds of over 50 mph while sliding.

Not a run for inexperienced and unfit skiers. The snow really doesn't look to bad, Big Sky's typical low tide coverage. Just people who had no business on that run!
The snow base is at 50% of an average season at around 80cm. d The runs are also peppered with rocks that you can't see making it impossible to link turns together without sharks ripping your skis out from underneath you. That combined with the GoPro effect can make an alright skier look bad and inexperienced.
On very steep runs, avoiding falls is imperative…learn to ski before endangering yourself and others…falls can easily injure skiers further down the trail!
Given the conditions, plus, I assume, carrying your sister's equipment down to her, I think you did very well. It's good that she was able to arrest her slide and escape injury. I've done that run in better conditions and even then it is intimidating with the steepness and awesome exposed view!
Its an incredible view for sure. We actually called Ski Patrol to help my sister down since she was shaken up mentally and needed help getting down. She is a great skier though and just made one smaller error that caused this crash.
As she slides by at 100 mph..."Are you OK?" Then what happened to her?
She was fine. Somehow just had a mild bruise on her back. Got really lucky.
Good, I just find it amusing that you ask if she's OK while she is still sliding down the hill and disappearing in the distance.snd then we never see her again.
