Best Classic Ski Trails

[SnowRider]

Ok we had all the easiest this and easiest that threads but I have a real question. Wha is your favorite classic new ngland ski trail. They can be steep, mellow, narrow whatever.

My Nominations:

1. Balance Rocks Wachusett
2. Dare Ya's at Sunapee

Those re some ones from southern NE as I dont know the trails that well in Northern NE.

-Hopefully this thread will get my mind off the weather :???:

Too many to list, but a few off the top of my head

Bubblecuffer at Sugarloaf
Polecat at Wildcat
Chin Clip at Stowe

I'd have to say the requirements (at least for me) to put a trail on this list are--
No or minimal snowmaking
No or minimal grooming
Not too wide (no rectangle trails!!!)
Trail follows natural terrain and holds snow. It Zigzags left and right and has many pitch changes.

I'd have to say as one goes down in difficulty, these types of trails get rarer and rarer.

Some I'd put on --

Green
Walts Trail at SB North (only green I can think of off the top of my head)
Blue
Most blue trails at MRG
Upper and Lower Balance Rock at Wa (this is an old CCC trail, only pieces left now)
Black
Double Bitter at 'loaf
WInter's Way at 'loaf
Bims Whim at SR.
Lock Line and Crossbow at SR (they are really just short sections left)
The blacks on Nancy Hanks are 'bush south
Chin Clip at Stowe
All the blacks at MRG
Double-Blacks
Starr and Goat at Stowe
The double blacks on Nancy Hanks at 'bush south
Bubble Cuffer at at 'loaf
Do they waste their time rating anything double-black at MRG? If so, those too.

Classic is in the eye of the beholder.....UK thinks that Lazy River is at Sunday River, that's one that I agree with, but I also think that the Tote Road at Sugarloaf is. Theres more but it's too early and I can't think of anymore right off the top of my head.

goat- definately a winner

summit glades at pico is pretty much my favorite trail anywhere in the east.
