What's your favourite name for a ski run? "Glade Runner" at sunshine village is pretty rad. Sorry to all you Euros who just slap numbers on your ski runs.

 i dont have pics but it def is a triple, but really its just pretty tight and steep woods, ive gone down it a few times and dont really see it as that difficult think a steeper double black woods trail, i think smuggs had it classified as a triple to be able to say they have the only triple black in VT or NE or w/e

its cut so you get in a few turns slow to navigate a short tight spot (repeat a few times and youve got black hole) def challenging but i dont think it deserves a triple rating

That's a good one.
The name is true at the end of the day too.  There are a bunch of gapers pizza-ing down it because they skied right past the catwalk.

uuuu, good thread!

I really like "High Spirits" at Red Mountain, BC. It's a good run, and you're always in "high spirits" when you come out the bottom.


either that or something like "Elevator Shaft" at Blue Mountain, Ontario. Scary, no?

That intermediate run at Mammoth that runs off the back of a bunch of semi-ungroomed double diamonds, called Cowards Way Out or something.

Runs have names? Haha, its been years since I've looked at a trail map.

Parachutes at Stevens Pass. Say it slowly, it describes the terrain rather well.
