tucks isn't super extreme but it's probably the most daunting in the east, aside of course from some backcountry lines

I agree with everything on the list, but I do not agree on the order.

i've done 1 and 2, they aren't really that bad. Paradise at Mad River Glen should definitely be higher up. I had a lot of trouble with that one

Any of the slides in the Adirondacks. I have always thought of skiing the Trap Dike on Colden.

"You have heard it said that if you can ski in New England – you can ski anywhere........Our Northeast ski areas offer some of the most challenging trails anywhere, due to our terrain, our climate and the resulting unpredictable nature of our conditions."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, are you serious?  Come out to the West and we'll show you some real terrain and some actual snow (no, ice does not count).

Completely disagree w/ this list. Rumor @ Gore is the steepest in the East and after 1 month of horrible skiers ruining the pitch it can be super technical. Granted only the headwall is the really rough part of the trail but you have to agree it's top 5.

Tuckerman's is so hairy it should also be top 3... this list is cheese.
