Let The Bodies Hit The Snow

[highpeaksdrifter]

What trail at what mountain do you see the most falls and why do you think that is?

At WF it’s Excelsior. It’s the only blue from the summit of Little WF. A lot of people over rate their abilities as we all know, that added to the fact that they want to use the gondi makes for a lot of falls on that trail.

Claire's Way at Hunter. Reason? Just a lot of gapers getting in over their heads on a notoriously slick and steep trail.

10th at Wawa...so many gapers...idk what to do about it...its overwhelming...there everywhere!

 

[Edd]

Can Am at Jay due to steeps + bumps; also Black Hole at Sunday River, same reason.

Nah, Conifer. It's a blue/black family trail and there are way too many people in over their heads on it.

Big Link at Cannon. Just unmerciful to beginners and intermediates when it is scraped down.

I didnt feel was TOO gaper when i fell there with you....:roll:

Not sure if it's a lot, since it hasn't been open much in the last couple of years, but seen some good ones on Ovation at Killington. Great trails for falls, good vantage point from from KBL. And it being as steep as it is, I've seen people fall and not stop til they hit the woods. Other than that, any bunny slope at any hill.

Ski fast, lose pass.









(No warning)

Haha... I'll also give Conifer the nod. Even worse is Balance Rock when it's scraped because it's so narrow that someone blocks about the entire trail if they fall.

yeah, a kid died on that run a couple years ago. He ran into the waterpipe that runs along the slope:-(

I saw one of the best yardsales I've ever seen at the bottom or Ralph's on Monday as I was walking into the ski area.

Oh man, Bunny Buster early season at Killington, just total carnage.

 

[KevinF]

No one has mentioned Killington's Outer Limits? I'm not a Killington regular by any means, but any time I've been to Outer Limits I see approximately 50% of the people on their ass, 49% frozen in fear, and 1% actually moving, trying to pick a line through the carnage.

Connifer would get my nomination as well.

By far...this is THE one. I ski all over the country and have never seen so many yardsales. She can be an ugly beotch!

Last Sunday was total carnage day. The conditions where killer, bad vis, high wind....a mess. I loved it!

Smith Walton at wachusett, only steep section in the place. Every weekend, I'll see a skier go down that section tentatively, using the whole section to make long turns in a snowplow. Or a rider doing a frontal scrape straight down the trail..

Ha! Didn't mean you. I've seen my share of denim daredevils also take the slide. The fact that you (a solid skier) went down on it reiterates the fact that many that try it are way over their head.

Same here. I did fall about 3 times but I was talked into trying it by Greg and my buddy House.

He meant me, ;-)
