Trail at Mountain Creek, NJ was called Devil's Bit for as far back as I can recall.
This year it was changed to Grand Prix

Best- Blubber @ whaleback
Worst - Medium @ magic ... I always tried to like it but can't. In addition to the new flags they need to rename this trail - Illusion, spell, rabbit... anything!
the former Elk Meadows had a Beatles song title theme.

I hope this is a nomination for a best not worst name.
Every time I see that name on a Ragged map or on the mountain I get a certain song of the same name in my head.

I love the Sunday River trail names that are that are themed around the peak names. Aurora has trails that are sky themed like Northern Lights and Celestial. Oz has Flying Monkey, Emerald City, Tin Woodsman, ect. I think that's pretty clever as opposed to things like Liftline, which a lot of resorts seem to have on their map.

One of my favorites: Snowflake Bentley at Bolton Valley, honoring the man who photographed snowflakes. There's even a Snowflake Bentley website.

Shit, I forgot to reply to this but yes that's the song!
Edit: crap, that's supposed to be animated, oh well.

Misery Whip - Sugarloaf
Goat - Stowe. Don't know why I like that name so much. It's just strikes me a funny...

All the NY highway named trails at Hunter. Who the hell wants to be thinking about traffic and potholes, and commuting to work when you are out on a mountain enjoying the the outdoors? Really takes away something for me.

I don't think the original owners of Hunter where thinking about that in the 1950s when they named the trails. I don't care of the name's. I just glad to be skiing in fun steep Snow. They were in construction business originally so that probably has something to due with the names. You need to relax more maybe take some Mj with next time at hunter.
