Best Trail Names in New England?!

[xwhaler]

All have to assume Satan's Staircase is the hands down winner, yes?

Cool article.

Surprised Canyon wasn't on it.

Some of my favorites from eastern areas I ski:

Freefall (Smuggler's Notch & Plattekill)

Snake Bite (Smuggler's Notch)

Nosedive (Stowe)

Plunge (Plattekill)


EDIT: And yes, Satan's Staircase is a pretty badazz name, though I've never skied there.

Plunge (Plattekill)

Bromley also has a gladed trail named Plunge. The trail is very uncharacteristic for Bromley since it skis more like something you'd find at MRG. Probably the steepest trail at Bromley.

Not the east but this reminds me of the Devil's Crotch at Breck - steep bump run

YOOYM at Whaleback is at the top of my list. Twilight Zone and Slide of Hans are also up there.

Any trail name thread needs an accompanying lift name discussion. The Crotched Rocket wins that hands down. End of discussion. I think their Darkstar trail name is pretty good too. I think the Tree Hugger glade and Cemetery Gate at Ragged are clever too.

Bubblecuffer and Misery Whip are favorites

I love the name "Bubblecuffer" at Sugarloaf. Never skied it! Somehow it amuses me to say it as "Cucklebuffer". IIRC a bubblecuffer was a logger who went out onto the rivers to break up logjams.

 

[deadheadskier]

Shay's Revenge at Snowshoe would be a new favorite as that's our son's name; though we spell it differently.

 

[steamboat1]

K has quite a few interesting trail names. Besides the more popular ones I like Royal Flush, The Thrown, Stitch Line, Helter Skelter & Growler.

Probably the most ominous name to me is at Smuggs, "Black Hole".

I've always loved Muleskinner at Saddleback---steep, classic New England skiing on the most remote part of the mtn.
Bit of work to get out there but well worth the effort!

Love that trail, ton of character to it. However, it should be referred to as "Orthopedic's Dream". The first time skiing Bubblecuffer it took Savemeasammy's rotator cuff out and mangled my thumb, both cases needed some surgeries. lol

NY not new England. Roxbury Platty the cliff lower expert steep and leads to some aweome trees to

 

[Newpylong]

Always liked Exterminator. Hammerhead too. Pretty much every trail name at Whaleback too lol. But that's a given.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Pretty much every trail name at Whaleback too

Never been, but isn't there a trail there called "Blowhole", because that needs to make the list.

 

[Newpylong]

Yep. All nautical / whale names.

A few of the good ones: Blowhole, Jawbone, Rib Cage, Davey Jones' Locker, etc. YOOYM - Your Out of Your Mind. The only non nautical name.

Jaws of Death. -Pretty sure someone was killed on that trail. Hence the name change to Jaws
