Top 5 Trails:
Screaming fast "cruiser": Upper to Lower Dipper at Burke
Classic: East Bowl at Burke
Steep on a powder day: Can Am at Jay
Bumps: Stein's at Sugarbush (I've never been able to hit Castlerock)
Just straight and steep: Avalanche at Cannon
Now that I have become a better skier I would love to return to MRG to fully appreciate it as well as visiting Sugarloaf and Wildcat. I'm sure I could find some new favorites at these places.

Top 5 Glades:
Jungle at Burke
Valhalla at Jay
Dixiland at Burke
Beaver/Beyond Beaver Pond at Jay (ohh the powder :grin: :grin: :grin: )
Northglade at Jay

It's hard for me to pick just one great trail, but here's a few of em:

1.) Organgrinder at Sugarbush
2.) Wingding at Sunapee
3.) Quantum Leap at Okemo
4.) Willoughby at Burke
5.) Dipper(s) at Burke
6.) True Grit at Waterville
7.) Jet at Jay
8.) Tomcat Schuss at Wildcat
9.) Pluto's Plunge at Crotched
10.) Flume at Loon

Also almost anything blue and up at Breck and Copper. (Although I've only skied Copper in knee deep powder....:spread: :p )

This thread makes me realize how few places I've really skied, despite averaging 25-30 days a year for the last several years.

It's tough to narrow it down to a handful of trails, and most of my favorites have already been mentioned. But here's a few I haven’t seen listed yet:

Lynx / Beaver and Partridge / Slalom Hill (MRG)
Upper Wipeout and Wedel (Windham)
Upper Cliff / Eisenhower or Racer's Edge (Hunter)
Vortex, Celestial, Flyin' Monkey, and all of Oz (Sunday River)
The entire mesh of trails to the skier's right of the old T-bar at Plattekill -- just mix & match, cut from 1 trail to the other, and you can ski there half the day without getting bored.
