Best Trail Names in New England?!

"Paradise"

Paradise is like a venus fly trap. It looks and sounds beautiful, but then it eats you alive when you get into it.

"organgrinder" is one I love to hate. It's almost like, "I'll challenge you, but grind you up, with enough room for all to see."

Personally I never really cared for Organgrinder. It was always icy and had bad double fall lined sections that never skied too well. There were nice days every now and then, but I never was jonesin to ski Organgrinder. I always preferred Ripcord.

Depends on the day. Ripcord is usually groomed flat most of the time while Organgrinder they tend to let bump up. Other than the OG headwall which gets windblown really quick, the rest of the trail often has some nice smaller bumps on it now. If I just want to rip on a steeper groomer, then Ripcord is often good but does get icy at times.

On a day like this it is beautiful...

Banshee and Avalanche at Cannon are very evocative. Polly's Folly because it is so true: inviting but often treacherous. Chewbacca at Mt. Sunapee.

Where is Chewbaca at Sunapee? Never heard of that one.

Not new england but I will always remember this trail even though I only skied it once....I went skiing with my family on a foggy day at Bellearye when I was just a wee lad. We stopped at the top of a trail called Tongora. When I asked my uncle what it meant, he responded without a hesitation "sudden death". I don't think I've ever skied a trail so cautiously in my life lol

Tongora is a short little narrow mogul run. I always enjoyed skiing that one... I wonder if that's the real meaning of the name.

Go ahead and Google Tongora... seriously.

I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

I had done that earlier before I made my post and didn't see anything unusual either...

I spelled it Tongura by mistake and was overwhelmed by Japanese Anime

It's also a place in Africa, apparently.
