Not really.
Locals here can't even decide what stuff is called.

I hear ya; 20 different names for the same stash, or no names, in which case I call it whatever I want or just "the streambed we skied last weekend after the big dump with the rock where we had to jump over the fallen tree"

I've dubbed a glade I've yet to ski at the local haunt, "Gunny Woods."

Hmmm....I wonder what trail that one is near. :blink:

 

[BeanoNYC]

The Light at Killington, so well known by local and regulars, that is should be on the map

You know! We never made it over there last year.

you couldn't beat it out of me!!!

 

[kcyanks1]

In that case,,,Chapel Woods, Triple Woods, Susie Glades, Oh Shit, Big Titties, The Clit, Kitchen Wall, Kitchen Sink, BBQ woods, Goatdive woods, S-53, The Bruce, The Burt, Hazleton, Angel Food, The Bench, The Riverbed, Tomba...and others...

Seems like you already gave it up with a beating. Unless HPD visited your house? (kidding)

The funny thing is most of the off map stuff I ski either do not have names or I don't know and don't care. I generally call woods trails by their general location. Combining two adjacent trail names is popular at one mountain I ski at, fairly obvious lines at least. But "the trees between" or "the trees off of" usually gets the trick done when talking about lines. Once something has a name a well publicized name, the secret is out. People begin to talk and then people begin to ask questions.

Diving Board, Headwall, Pluto, Bliss. Anyone know where these are? If you do, you're following my tracks. And could thereby get your self in a heap o' trouble.

Wow. I meant to say *withOUT* a beating! Oops.

reminds me of the song Horse with no name..

 

[Puck it]

Who needs names. Go into the trees and just ski.

Tin Cup at Sunapee is good though.

How about "None of your F-in business woods"?

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

used to be a good one at SR called Hairy Balls...but they put in a new trail and cut right through it. Others are 'pandora's box" "death chute" and "___ riverbed" but it all depends on which group of locals you're skiing with..."pandora's box" is also known as "corner store" and maybe even a few other names. That's the best thing about the trails...two groups could be talking about the same run and never know it unless they compared notes. Hell, now that its not on the trailmap anymore, the most popular off the map tree run is Spruce Cliffs...aka Lemming Cliffs

I only skied The Light a few times. It gets so much traffic that it's a bump run. I was kind of bummed when they put Steps on the map last winter. That has also become a bump run. You can ski between pretty much any cut trail so it's not like there is any mystery about where to find the goods. The best stuff doesn't bring you back to a lift.

almost all of the trees at Stowe are now bump runs. It seems as many people hang in the trees as on the trails and from the base you can pretty much see all of the major shots. They're so cleared out that they look like cut glades in numerous places.

That's what happened at Gore last year. On a powder day, the trees would get tracked up faster than the trails. The trees were bumped up by 11:00 and there was fresh powder on the trails at 3. Totally backwards.
