steepest in bounds runs I have ever done are

Most anything off the cirque at snowbird. There are some runs on the backside that are over 45 degrees for over a 1000 feet of vertical.

and apparently stowe has some steep according the list.

Personally give me soft snow and fun terrain any day over 'steep" though.  and I have skied some runs that while out of bounds are much steeper than anything on this list. while they are cool, sketchy, fun and heck in cases like Superior Mountain, Y couloir, god's Lawn Mower, and the North face of mansifield in sketch conditions were life changing runs.
