Does anyone have any experience skiing Highlands Bowl in Aspen? Our family is heading to Snowmass next week and my husband really wants to hike and ski the Highlands Bowl. I keep reading that is expert only terrain but would love to hear from someone that's skied it. I would like to try it (maybe) but am nervous (low level 7 skier) that it will be too difficult/steep for me. I've skied Alta, Snowbird and Jackson and done black trails out West including Rendezvous Bowl but no double blacks. I know the conditions make a huge difference in how difficult a run is but I'm just trying to get a sense of how steep and hard it is. It's impossible to tell from YouTube videos how steep a trail is!
