I think we need nominees for quality ski-off runs. Here are a few:

Tramline
Redline

Of course... Madonna Lift Line

More?

Believe it or not K just reclassified these trails as blue trails along with a bunch of others. There is no longer any green circle trails off K Peak or Snowdon.

Not kidding when I say that trail truly is a challenge to ski under the condittions at that time. Very icy and scraped, or bumped up. Way to many people going every which way cutting you off and all the trail crossings.

I think it had something to do with the girl who was killed skiing off GN last year. Like I said they reclassified a whole bunch of trails blue that previously were green. Should start another thread on this topic.

I'm not generally a fan of "over rating" a trails' difficulty, but I am on board with this. The fewer novices on Killington peak, the better.

It has to be a trail that would decide a clear victor. Which means that the loser must quit from exhaustion or the embarrassment of a fall. Lift lines are great but I do like the endurance test of Juggernaut

Poma Line at Pico would be fun as well. It would add a "roller derby" element to the whole thing.

The ultimate endurance ski off:

Start at the trailhead of tux, first to hike up and ski down and make it back to the bottom wins
