Seriously, first video was rad, second two not so much.

I will say that guy on goat must have an awesome time just taking a shower, making zoom sounds on the traverse, was he like 6?

Who the heck picked those videos as being representative of FallDice and GoatWoods? Seriously? All the featured the woods around the trail in question rather than the trail itself but the Dice and Goat vids were LAME.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO SMUGGS THIS YEAR! WOO!!!

Wow, the smuggs video was really sick! The MRG video really didn't do it any justice.

Excellent assessment.

I agree with the posters at SkiVT-L. The scariest trail is a brutally groomed, icy trail at (name your resort) on a busy weekend day!

Very true. Hard to be scared with the sweet conditions in those first two videos.

61 inches in six days, and there still are bare spots?

in the Smuggs video, what you're seeing on the Robins run and LIftline segment are ice flows over ledge. Stuff like that does not hold snow on steep terrain.

Anyone have any higher quality videos of Goat or Paradise (or anything else "scary", for that matter)? I could use some Friday the 13th stoke.

"Which one of these ... is not like the others......?"

Quite a stark contrast in vids. I liked the Smuggs one quite a bit more. :rolleyes:

Smuggs was the only video worth a replay. That guy on Goat looks like he's on some old Rossi rentals from 1999.

Dude was catching some good air on Madonna lift line... were those mandatory or was he picking out the route with the biggest ice ledges?

I have only seen a couple of pictures of the lift line and it looked like it had some small mandatorys or more like very steep straightline sections where you needed to commit and go, but nothing like what that dude was getting.
