Have you even skied the east??? If you have, you'd know that this shit isn't that white fluffy stuff you ski in aspen. Yeah the terrain might not be quite as challeging as the west, but let me assure you, this stuff is no walk in the park.

thats pretty bogus i have to say, some of those yes, but zoomer at cannon is not a tough trail, easy to bomb. what about tramline or kinsmen at cannon? those could easily rank in the top 3-5 so thats wack

lets see here...
1. goat & starr
2. competition
3. liftline
4. Rumble
5. Zoomer.
if they were going to include cannon, they should have made a mention of mittersill. liftline is ridiculous. goat and starr are some of my favorite runs in vermont.

Man, Dynamite at Tremblant is the toughest shit in the east. With all due respect to the so called "extreme skiers" out west, you'd be hard pressed to find anything as difficult as Dynamite anywhere west of the mississippi.

i think anything off Mount Baldy on the Alta side *excluding the main chute* would be harder than that, i grew up skiing east coast, your shit is very tough to ski for sure, but sometimes i think you guys get ahead of yourselfs.

So this Dynamite run is more difficult than schmidiots? How about eagles nest? Eagles' nest gets up to about 65 degrees. How about Pony Express? The east coast simply does not have the mountains to deliver a run that is more difficult than the gnarliest stuff out west. Icy bumps, glades, these things will make you a better skier. Skiing ANYTHING everyday will make you a better skier. But no one moves east for the terrain. I grew up back east and I will never go back. I don't know anyone else who will either.

How could they overlook paradise. I can see not looking at Tuckerman's as a lift serviced area, but how do you miss out on paradise.

ive done tuckermans, not hillmans highway though
and if u look at EPOCH, by MEAT HEAD FILMS, they do some crazy shit, all on the east coast, but most arent lift serviced

the charlevoix at the massif could have made it... but it suck cause it's almost never open...
All times are Eastern (-5)
