Right where I want to be
I don't think the original owners of Hunter where thinking about that in the 1950s when they named the trails. I don't care of the name's. I just glad to be skiing in fun steep Snow. They were in construction business originally so that probably has something to due with the names. You need to relax more maybe take some Mj with next time at hunter.

I just like saying it out loud, while skiing it, or just having skied it, or about to ski it, loudly, in German accent, with a touch of Nurse Diesel... KUERSTEINER!

In the shadow of the moon.
Best - or at least most descriptive- Sugarbush's Rumble; you know what you're in for from the name.

Worst - or at least the laziest act of naming a trail - all the Lift lines out there.

Honorable mention: Glory Hole - Alta.

A close second would be Mittersills Track Track.Huh?Yup,what the hell is that?And then,while I'm beating up on Cannon,they name a trail at Mittersill Cannonball after it was rejected as a 2 year name change for Profile.They are obviously running out of names which one can clearly tell by seeing they now have 2 Gremlins,2Turnpikes,and 2 Red balls on the trail report.I mean,who does that also?

Have you ever chortled? Or seen an out-of-control skier go galumphing down a ski run? If so, or even if not, you can thank Alice through the Looking Glass author Lewis Carroll for the nonsense poem "Jabberwocky".
