never been to sugar bush, but always like the sound of Middle Earth.

Someone at some point in the area had a LOTR obsession way back. Middle Earth, Castle Rock, Troll Road...then there's "Hobbit Hill Road" as a road name in the area.

Have heard from a reliable source there is an unofficial glade that goes by "Obvious" at Cannon.

I grew up skiing at Holiday Valley in WNY and loved The Wall bc it was legit steep. Also liked Barkeater which was a trail in the glades.

As an adult, I never bother to learn trail names anymore so this thread was a good read.

Bring a beacon, shovel, and probe when you ski The Wall, it's prone to avi's.;)

I love it too!

The wall also reminds me not to drink heavily and ski.

When I was in college my brother and I were sharing a Labatts ice every time up the lift one day. We made it over to The Wall and I tried to straight line it through the bumps from the top... Next thing I know I'm on the ground in a total yard sale (getting serious applause for the spectacular fall). I go to pick up my 200cm Dynastar Vertical and shriek in pain when I try to pick it up. Broken hand, ouch.

I don't drink and ski anymore!

Ha, friends don't let friends ski drunk.;) Now stoned is another story entirely. Shit, skiing drunk makes driving drunk seem like a good idea.
