Funny ski names

[skiNEwhere]

Not sure how to word the subject of this thread, but I think funniest take on a name I've heard is "Slowkemo" for "Okemo". Saw on K-Zone that someone called it "P-Okemo-n" :smash:

I've also heard "Iceface" for "Whiteface", although I can't really vouch for that because I've never been there.

We used to call "Blue Hills" in Canton "Brown Hills" due to the fact there was usually bald spots on the trails over half of the time.

Atticrash, a joke at nearby Memorial Hospital. I've also heard Attitrash, but that seems mean spirited.

Someday Bigger

The nickname Someday Bigger always gives me a :-D
A nice variety of trails there though, Black Hole at Sunday River:



Here are a few more ski area nicknames from around the country with a few of my photos attached:
Mt. Bachelor, OR = Mt. Flatchelor

Kirkwood, CA = Kirkweed

Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows = Squalpine

Powder Mountain, UT = PowMow
Grand Targhee, WY = Grand Foggie
Red Lodge, MT = Rock Dodge
Crested Butte, CO = Crusty Butt
Vail, CO = Flail
Snowshoe, WV = Blowshoe
Massanutten, VA = Mass of Nothin'

Apparently in the UK and/or Australia the word "nob" equates to "johnson". So certain foreign nationals get a big chuckle out of US ski areas with the word nob in them, such as Nub's Nob, MI and Blue Knob, PA

My apologies. Upon closer examination I think I grabbed that photo of Squaw's KT22 terrain off web, not mine. Here's one from Alpine Meadows (Scott Chair) that is mine:
