One comment from above... Robyn's is a TOUGH run. If you go there, expect anything!

I haven't skied K-Mart for years but I agree withthe comment about the beginner trails wandering thru all the others. :angry:

The one I remember from there was Carpenter's Run. It is from the bottom of Needle's Eye and I think it gained in vertical instead of dropping. :x

At Sugarbush, I'd vote for Downspout at South. Known as Deathspout and a lot of names I can't post, :roll: it is the main way to Heaven's gate. I'll look, later for some of the pix I have of it. They make the above pix look empty. :angry:

At North I vote for Upper Rim Run. It is an ice cube. Nothing to do, many times but point them down and hope nobody in front of you does anything stupid. :roll:

Deathspout hit a new low this past season when a race or competition was held on one half of lower Deathspout. This already congested area turned into a tangled mass of fallen humanity writhing on a narrow strip of polished ice. I don't have a picture, but it made the Killington picture at Snowdon look like people helicopter skiing in Alaska.

I remember that weekend. It was funny... or not, depending.

I remember when I first came across the area as they were building the bump course.

:eek: "You're gonna do what???" :eek:

In fairness to the bush, tho they had signs up and for most of the time (every time I was over there) they had an ambassador or two suggesting people go another way.

But that did make that trail go to a different level! :roll:
