A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
Really? No one caught this?

#1 is a TERRAIN PARK

The Stash, France. And if that isn't enough. KILLINGTON HAS "THE STASH" TOO.

1. The Stash, Avoriaz, France

No. 1, as chosen by experts.
This Avoriaz slope is part-tree run, part-terrain park.
Jake Burton, founder of Burton Snowboards, helped design its layout.
"My favorite run in the world is The Stash," says Becky Menday, a member of Great Britain's Freestyle Snowboard Team. "It takes you through the trees and has fantastic natural wooden features for you to session all the way through it."
Watch out for: Trees.

Has there ever been a ski article that didn't get torn to shreds by the members of this forum? Just wondering if anyone outside of ski magazines has ever written a quality article.
Rightly so!

The whole idea of "top whatever" is nothing better than "my d$% is bigger than your" list! Anyone who even take them seriously have more time in their hands than they know what to do. As such, they have nothing better to do than to rip it apart. :)

It is now murphy's glade, which is really just a barely a glade. I'm guessing that over the years they had many trees blow down leaving it in it's current state.

Killington had many heavily thinned glades back in the 60's and 70's, some were cut into trails, but many had their trees destroyed by the wind.


I doubt that, I first skied Sugarbush in 1971 and those glades were just runs with a few trees left standing here and there.
