The bush has a ton. all of castlerock is relatively narrow to downright tiny. (rumble) I would guess wildcat is pretty tight. Killington, just based on the sheer size of the place has a few but nowhere near the amount of sugarbush. Stowe has a few. The one place that jumps out is magic. Other then lucifer and talisman, nothing is wide. Nothing crazy narrow but the place is full of semi to pretty tight runs.

Easy answer: MRG. Many of the marked "trails" are lightly gladed which narrows down your line selection.

That's like 9 trails out of 130ish. I would actually say that Sugarloaf has smallest percentage of tight trails in NNE with exception to a few places.

Saddleback has some narrow trails like Muleskinner, Warden's Worry, Golden Smelt, Supervisor, Jane Craig and Professor.

I heard that America is tight and very overgrown. Hopefully that trail will be cleared up soon, so we can ski it.

although not really difficult, i would say black mt n.h. has quite a few narrow trails. really only a couple wide swaths.

it was cleared out and widened alot a couple years ago, now it never opens because the wind scoures it to death:uzi:

When we skied there on closing day this season, there had to be 5-10' of cover on the upper mountain, so bare spots where not an issue and America was the only trail still closed.

Guest services told me it was closed due to overgrowth and brush blocking the trail, which would make sense with the tremendous amount of snowcover on the whole mountain.
