Ski area nicknames

[Brettski]

First time I saw it I thought it was very appropriate...and a lot of people here on the board have come up with some good ones...here's what I've seen so far


Killington ===> KMART
Mountain Creek ====> Mountain Crack
Stratton ====> Mannstratton
Mount Snow ===> Mount Sneux (I think I got that wrong)

Any others?

Because if you make one turn at pokemo you made them all. Flatton has a better trail system, Not as good as Sneaux's but better then pokemo.

OK, I got some, but you have to associate the areas for me

Mud Valley?
the Stack?
Gloom?

Got the rest

The River's not big enough? I guess that's fair, but the trail system is excellent IMHO

Mud Valley? - maple valley

Most of mine were taken by the rest of you.

Shawnee Peak - Scrawnee

 

[DrSkimeister]

Mt Snow=Mt Blow (more a reference to the "in your face" wind at the top of the Summit quad than the resort)

Mountain Creek=Creek=Crap (reference to everything about the place)

Okemo doesn't have as much steep terrain as some of the other resorts in the area do. A lot of people on this board enjoy steeper, natural runs - something that Okemo does not offer too much of.

LOL, in the house, we refer to going down the street to Crotched Mountain as..

'Lets hit the Crotch!'

$towe, or you can borrow from Mt Snow and call it Steaux, or, both:

$teaux!

the someday bigger thing started at sugarloaf. there has always been a little rivalry between the two. Sugarloaf has a much higher vert then the river.... hence someday bigger.

Mt Nothington
Powder Bump
BEast
Mt. Slow (i never agreed with this one at all)
Ski Rundown (again just one i've heard)

 

[Terry]

There used to be a sign partway up the liftline at Sugarloaf that said if you were at Sunday River this would be the summit. Allways has been a rivalry between the two. I think Sugarloafers started calling the river someday bigger.
