Blues

[highpeaksdrifter]

We're always discussing Blacks, trees, glades and lift lines (rightly so), but we all ski Blues sometimes. Which one is your favorite.

Mine is Paron's Run at Whiteface. Long, good pitch all the way, lots of sunshine on it, they let it bump up sometimes. At many areas it would be rated a black.

It's probably the most photographed trail at Whiteface because it's what you see looking up from the summit of Little Whiteface. That picture is my avitar.

I was gonna say Stevie Ray Vaughn or B.B. King.

Different kind of blues.

Very good point, some of my favorites are at Sugarbush. Jester/Valley House Travers/Snowball/Springfling combo has always been a fun top to bottom run for me. Tramway at Cannon was cool as well.

Willoughby and East Bowl at Burke
Vista Way and Taft Slalom at Cannon (did these get changed to diamonds? can't remember)
Lynx and Catenary at Wildcat
Quacky at MRG
Jester at the Bush

I second Paron's Run. Incredible views of the high peaks (were talking top 5 in the northeast IMO for a view). Good pitch. Opened real early this year so thats a plus. Fun whalebacks and a solid 1000 vert. Magnificent.

Bwaaaa, lol. I clicked on this thread to say Muddy Waters....great minds think alike.

Jester at Sugarbush is a great run. Top-to-bottom on Speakeasy at Loon is a great run, as long as you hit it early (gets skied off quick).

 

[Sparky]

Twister at Gore can be fun.

 

[sledhaulingmedic]

Upper Cannon at, that's right, Cannon

Vertigo at Magic

Golden Smelt at Saddleback

 

[Greg]

How could I foget: Upper Antelope at Mad River...

Twister at Gore can be fun.

Agreed. Showcase can be as well.

Sugarbush: Jester to spring fling is fun..Birch run to Hot shot and down is a great run.
Killington: Rime always has nice snow..had a blast on pipe dream
Stratton: Well most of the Mt is blue so if you are looking for that its one of the best.
Sugarloaf: Not many blue on this mountain....But I had fun on King's landing.

 

[NYDrew]

Jester definately. But I also think that it is black worthy. You can really pick up some heat on that trail and not realize till you hit a crowded intersection (not that I've had that problem, but I can definately picture it)

i am actually not a huge fan of upper antelope for some reason. i loooooooove lower antelope, but upper just doesn't do it for me. i guess it is due to relative nature of the mountain, on any other mountain i would probably think upper antelope was one of the best trails but at MRG, it is just the trail that gets me to lynx/beaver or lower antelope.

 

[skibum1321]

Usually I just go on blues to get to trails/woods that I want to go to. I get bored on most blues and there are none that stick out in my mind as a favorite.
