On our get-away to Oregon's Central Cascades, we took a snowshoe trip near Hoodoo Ski Resort. The snow was very icy, so we didn't have to worry about sinking into powder. We had magnificient views of a couple of peaks in the Cascades, as well a couple of downhill skiiers coming down the very steep backside of Hayrick Butte. The run drops an average of one foot of vertical distance for every two feet of horizontal distance. At the top, the angle is about 45 degrees! If you look closely enough, you can see the ski tracks here. You can see the full set of pictures from the outing here.
