There's lots of ledges, exposed rocks & bumps on the trail to launch & whirl away as many times as you want! Prefer to ski it with a fresh blanket of soft snow.

Whirlaway was one of my favorite trails on my last trip to Stowe a few years ago. Was a nice warm sunny spring day too that day.

Good to know it never got the AIG treatment. I loved the little 3 foot drop right in the middle of the trail.

Whirlaway is such a fun trail. Both slug & I left parts of our base on that trail a few times! 😜

I love whirlaway! its been a while since I've been to Stowe. I don't recall a 3-ft drop in the middle, but it definitely has rocky features. Maybe it was always filled in when I was there?

Checkout 01:55 (center of trail) and 02:00 (skiers right)... whirl & away!

I once came through there and found at least 6 people just standing all over the place..paralyzed by the rocks.
Somehow I just aired over them with out crashing..right through the middle.
Sporty...

I remember skiing Whirlaway I think the last time I skied with you and there were many people standing around that rocky outcropping. And the best line was right over it. Much fun and worth the repeat.

We were up there MLK weekend but I didn't make it over that way. I can't believe the snow levels are that high!
