Sherriffen-Keps-Rimfors/Sommarstigen
Riksgränsen Intermediate
Axel Mossling
My favorite lift-served run is probably what can be called Sheriff-Kep's Summer Trail/Rimfors. From the top of the lifts (it doesn't matter if you come up with the Upper Chair or the Nordals lift), you ride up the hill to the left of the BH-Löpan slope. Follow the trail, and soon you'll reach the drift known as Sheriff. Jump off the drift (it might be a good idea to check first, especially if it's not your seventh run in a row or so) and head straight down the slope.
Continue straight ahead, past the KEPS sign, and aim for the small electric shed at the bottom of the flat area. After that comes the Kep's drift, which can also be jumped off. It's usually not as good as Sheriff, as the landing is much flatter and it often collapses. Far to the left, near the rope towards Uffes-wall, is likely the best option. Gain speed over the flat section and ride up to the edge on the other side of the ravine that goes down to the left. This ravine is the Summer Trail, and if you continue along the edge in a northeast direction, you'll reach Rimfors.
Both are good options that can be alternated. Down in the Summer Trail, you can advantageously use the ravine as a halfpipe and ride up and down on both sides. When it ends, there's the icefall to the right, a pretty good cliff that usually has a decent landing. Then it gets a bit steeper, and after that, you turn left and traverse back towards the lift.
Rimfors is steeper than the Summer Trail and has a few more rocks. There are a bunch of different lines to ride here, but watch out for cliff slabs that lie under just a few centimeters of snow! In the middle, there's a sustained steep section that can be completely magical in good snow, and on the right edge, there's a flatter stretch where snow can blow in. After the run, you'll come down into the Orange Gully, and then it becomes a bit of gliding and poling back to the lift.

You ski outside controlled areas at your own risk. Use and practice with your safety equipment. Inform yourself about the current, local conditions. Hire a mountain guide for better and safer skiing at the summit and backcountry. Have fun on the mountain and the courage to turn around when the risks are too great. Safe turns!
