Steepest slope in the east

[loafer89]

My vote for steepest still goes with the backside of the Snowfields at Sugarloaf, especially Ignitor, Jagger and High Rigger. I only skied these trails during the extreme snow year of 1997, but they are VERY steep.

How about the Face of Jay Peak! Definately inbounds. With a good snow year many possible super steep lines open up.

What is the tight run under the tram rated at?

That was my #1 ski experience in the East with powder past my waist

If you're refering to the Jay Tram then those are the Face Chutes and Tuckerman Chute. There is nothing more than single blacks at Jay, so ya better be sure you are up to snuff!

I was going to mention the Face also; need a good snow year to really enjoy.

I skied the narrow chute under the Tram at Jay Peak in March of 1999, and the snow was incredibly deep and light.

What about skier's right and center on Upper FIS at Sugarbush? That's pretty intense...

Do you think that is the steepest at Sugarbush? What about ripcord?

Solitude at Killington

Solitude at Killington

Where is that trail?

 

[loafer89]

Nah, Solitude is WAY too steep, my vote is Juggernaut :lol:

Good one

 

[loafer89]

Solitude is a green trail off of Killington Peak/South Ridge area that parallels Juggernaut for a time. Both trails are incredibly flat.

Nah, Solitude is WAY too steep, my vote is Juggernaut :lol:

Good one

Ahh.. Now I get it.

My vote for steepest run inbounds is for Paradise at MRG.

Depending on who you ask, Paradise is technically OB. Octapus's Garden is steeper, but certainly OB.

FIS is quite a bit steeper than ripcord... some of the sections of rumble are supposedly close to that as well...

Freefall at Smuggs. It has a very steep sustained pitch, so much so that on the right day, your sluff can knock you down! The upper part (skiiers right)of FIS, and The TOP of Paradise at MRG come in at a close second though. Who really skiis the trails anyway though? The woods are where the steeps are hiding!

And for whoever mentioned the Teardrop, its not that steep, but its a TON of fun!
