Any favorite locations for cliffs? Thread of Church at Sugarbush got me thinking.

Decent size at Stowe (bigger than I would probably do!)


I can't remember where it was exactly (damnit!) but there used to be a nice 7 or 8' one at Killington I would do in between two trails. I want to say it was somewhere off of bear tracks.... might have been near the top of Skye as well. It was in between I think two green trails or traverse trails.

Somewhere buried i have a picture of me going over it, about the biggest one I've ever done.

There are some at Saddleback on Upper Professor, Jane Craig and the little patch of trees they thinned out between them.

Cannon, take your pick. 2' to 15'+

There is a bunch of that sort of thing in BB at Sugarloaf. Im sure if you ask you can be shown some of it during the Summit this year. If it snows enough to fill the Basin in.

Devils Fiddle at K has a few nice drops. Also lower Cascade right at the turn. Niice drop, never done it personally but always see it when I ride the canyon chair.

Berkshire East has that nice one that used to be called Avalanche.

Even Blandford has a cliff under the red double. You have to time it right otherwise you get whacked with the chair. Did it once when I was a younger man.

Found a photo of a buddy of mine doing the one at Killington. It was pretty fun!

Powbmps posted some cool videos in a trip report of him hucking some cliffs out west. Maybe he will see this and post them.
