The glade at Cannon that covers almost their entire vertical is a burner by the time your done. Nice trail as well. Ive only been able to ski it one day and I practically lived there. Plenty of fun lines to take and its massive vertical makes it that much better.

Kinsman Glade, Tramline, The Slides, and the Face at Jay all seem to have the potential to be up there, but I can't speak from experience, they've never been open when I've been there. I suppose I should include Goat, as well, as it's been so long, I don't even remember what it was like.

The slides and Kinsman glade are the only trails Ive tackled myself, and they are both worthy. Different feel on both trails though so it makes it hard to differ. I think Ill go with the slides, only because it usually is never open (only a few days last year).

I'd throw a vote in for Liftline, Robin's Run and Freefall at Smuggs. There is never much cover and they're all really steep with some minor cliff bands.

Perhaps he should have listed it as "The most scared you've ever been on a pair of skis due to terrain"....which is how I chose to answer it. You still coulda played along

Based on that, Ripcord at Snow wins for me. very icy, maybe my third of fourth day on skis in 18 years.
