[Puck it]

It should be easy. Name trail and lift.

I almost guessed that. The powder threw me off.

Didn't know there'd be so much Gore in this thread or I would've dominated it earlier . . .

Here's a couple:

1) Topridge

2) Rumor

 

[mattchuck2]

Indeed

bottom run is Rumor?

I had read that is one of the steepest runs in the east. Is it only really steep for 100 or vert or so as it appears in that picture or does the camera angle make the bottom appear less steep than it is?

You can never gauge pitch accurately from a 2 dimensional pic. I've never skied Rumor, but I've seen it and that shit is steep, especially the top third.

in the last pic it looks like sweet wind lip that would be fun to blast off of on a powder day.

Haha, if you skied it, you'd know how crazy that last statement was . . .

The thing is so steep at that point that you'd be going a million miles an hour when you landed. . . straight into a mogul field . . .

However you could go off sideways and land on the sidehill. I did that a couple of times last year . . . once with disasterous results (ski came off on impact, slide for life down to the "flatter" section).

I'll try to get a better picture up for you to show the actual steepness, but as anyone who watched a ski movie knows, you kind of have to be there . . .

Another shot of the Rumor. Does this give a better sense of its pitch?

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]
