Favorite trail pods?

[Greg]

What are some of your favorite trail pods at various mountains? Castlerock at Sugarbush is obviously the best at South, but I also enjoy the Valley House trail pod with the Mall, Twist and Moonshine. The East Basin area is the best Loon offer - trails like Triple Trouble, Dipper and Lower Angel Street are a blast. Snow's North Face is fun.

Being a newcomer to the sport, I recently discovered how fun the trails in the Toilet Bowl are at K.

This is the point where an old crusty can jump in and tell me how much better they were in the old days...

needles eye area at killington. Bromleys east face is a personal favorite. 10 years ago, i wouldve said bear mtn hands down but its seen some changes in recent years that have dimmed my enthusiasm for it.

Don't apologize. Think of a trail pod as an "area" of trails, usually serviced by a specific lift or lifts, e.g. Castlerock at Sugarbush, Bear Mountain at Killington, etc...

I'm fond of the "Edge" pod at Tremblant and the North side trails.

Not realy sure if it is technically a trail pod but I would say the ramshead side of snowdon at kmart. Low-rider, patsys, northstar, vagabond, random snowdon woods. Nice natural terrain with a good pitch and the crippled lift keeps the masses away. Another one would definitely be bronco at pico, when it is open.

I also like the summit quad at cannon although the hsdq has somewhat changed the traffic patterns up there.

Zoomer at Cannon. Just wish the trails were longer.

Castlerock at SB. Either main lift at MRG. Canyon at Killington well behind those two.

I think Wildcat qualifies as its own pod, so I'm voting for that. I also like Aurora over at Sunday River. Not many trails in that pod, but it has a little bit of everything.
