Good ones. I haven't been on alot of the trails mentioned, but I have been on those two and I have to agree.

And the only ones I don't think I've seen mentioned at South are The Mall and Morning Star. Both are liftlines, but they're nice liftlines. :wink:
Indeed!

Oh, forgot about those, I love all 3 of the North Lynx trails, besides the slow triple chair. I had spectacular runs down Birch Run in March in the sun.

Ahhh... but did you know there used to be a poma lift up there? On the bad side, we didnn't have Morning Star. On the good side, it was almost a private area.

Some knew what was meant by being up on Poma Beach. ;)

Sugarloaf: Double Bitter, Ripsaw, Binder, Rookie River
Cannon: Taft Race Course
Shawnee: Cody's Caper

edit: Sunday River: Uppercut, Crossbow. I rag on the River as much as anyone, though I go there all the time, so credit where credit is due: those trails are fun.

I think binder is my favorite trail at Sugarloaf. Narrow and twisty. Upper Kanc at Shawnee Peak is a fun trail if there is ever enough snow to cover it. If I get more confident at bump runs, gonna try myserys whip at the loaf. It looks like fun but I just haven't gotten the confidence to try it. Maybe this season! :beer:

The trick with skiing Misery Whip is using the entire width of the trail. If you try to just stay in the center you better not miss a turn. Ask Bob R about the Whip. He loves that trail!

Yeah, whip looks sweet, bowl shape toward the side. Makes it interesting.

whip looks like a really sweet trail. is that a former lift line? those are the best. t'would be sick after a dump.
Not sure about the liftline but you're right about skiing it after a dump. 2 or 3 years ago I hit it in 17" of fresh, untracked powder. It was a sweet run.
