I was looking at trail maps to see trails that have been mentioned here and in each case for the most part they are run outs or cross over trails. I decided to look at trail maps and look at each resort we have been to in New England (34) and technically I could name at least one or two and once again they are run outs or cross overs.
You have to love those mountains that have green cross overs on a part of the mountain that is primarily advanced skiing. Very often beginner skiers will ski without looking up the crossing trail causing dangerous situations.
Another type of trail that sucks is the trail that provides access to a summit that is used by 80% of the skiers (easy way down) which leads to the temptation for some to ski on trails that are above their abilities. Nice thing about these trails is - it is not a required trail to ski to get some where so it can be avoided.
