Ruthie's
Run
Skied for 55 or more years, Ruthie’s Run on Aspen Mountain has
been the venue for classic, hotly contested World Cup and Roch Cup races.
On the mild upper section, the whims of wind and waxing have often decided
the downhill winners over the years. If you’re an intermediate,
you can easily cruise the upper part, and avoid the steep section by
taking Ruthie’s Lift back up to the top. Or you can head down.
For racers, the real technical test on Ruthie’s starts as racers
plunge into Aztec and Spring Pitch, setting up one of the most demanding
sequence of high-speed turns of any downhill in the world. “It
is still one of the classic runs in North America,” says ex-Olympian
Tom Corcoran.
One of the most spectacular recoveries on Ruthie’s, recalled by
Aspen photographer Bob Chamberlain, occurred when Buddy Werner was thrown
backwards at high speed, and flew for a long time through the air.
