Anyone in here ever done it? Any good advice?

Are you doing the traditional/original one, or the variation designed
for snowboarders?

Wait one second, goddammit!

So you're saying there's two?

Tell me more.....pluuureeeseee.

Well, it goes like this:-

There's the traditional one which skiers have used for ages. Then
there's a modified variation (maybe more than one?) designed for
snowboarders, which minimises the ascents required.

I've not done either, but I was curious as to which one you were doing.
I'm not sure how well known the variation is. Ask your guide which
you're doing.
