Damn it, now I had to start it up again and watch that part (I only watch the first 30 seconds the first time).

I saw the one where he straddled TWO trees... Much less injury risk to ones' privates if you do it that way!

How many times did they almost run into each other. Night tree skiing is extreme. I used to this at Wachusett as a kid

Apparently MMW's "out" for the great AZ meetup at Blue Mountain.
Wait, what? (put's on apres-work to do list)

I know that Bracket Basin technically has named runs in it but I'd say the whole area is a favorite. One of the few inbounds places in the east that doesn't get completely tracked out in a day.
Too many at Jay to pick a favorite.
I don't know the name of it but there's a low angle glade at Sunapee that I personally love. It's the first glade I ever rode and I always have a lot of fun in it so it's on my list.
Outside of New England it's a whole different ball game. Any place out west basically wipes the floor with us. I haven't been to enough areas to really say, but the Fawn Ridge area at Kirkwood is fantastic, and most of the areas between trails at Northstar are a perfect blend of pitch, tree spacing and great snow.

Crotched is so lit up at night it is possible. After Nemo we were in the woods until 2am, was amazing.

Black Mountain of Maine rocks! Some of the best low angle glades in New England. They hold snow well and have an amazing flow. I look forward to hopefully making it back up there before the summit this year.

I guess I need to try this place. I'm always driving up that direction anyway.

Chutzpah, Hollywood and Celestial at Sunday River. And everything else that is off map.
Many of you will scuff at this (no good terrain, too little snow there.) Yup, all true, stay away.

Agreed on Celestial. Great, long glade.

If you haven't been since it was lengthened top to bottom, try Chutzpah. Fantastic now and Hollywood is also quite long.
I thing one of the things i hate most about P O V stuff if the angles of the cameras. Imo no one shoots out ahead of themselves enough. I want to see where your headed not the front of your boots!!! Just my .02

I am a big fan of the glades at Jay. This is mostly because of the quality of snow, deepness of it and general atmosphere of the resort. A few of my favorites include Timbuktu, Staircase Glades, Beaver Pond, Andres Paradise and Canyonland. The picture attached to this post was taken a top Canyonland.

Based on location, those both look to be challenging. I've never skied Chutzpah, and Hollywood is new to me.
