Name the "Classic, Narrow, Winding" trails in the Northeast

I want to make a list of all the trails in New England that qualify as "classic new England", Narrow and Winding".

We've talked about this a lot, and I trolled the messages and came up with a small list.

Provide the resort, and trail name, I'll compile the list. Then we can vote on which is the best!
It doesn't matter how difficult the trail is, that becomes obvious later.

Here is what I have so far, I'm sure there are some missing:

resort trail
bolton Tucker Peak
Smuggs ?
Stowe ?
Waterville Tangent
Magic all over
Pico ?
Cannon ?
Saddleback Hudson Highway

Attitash--- SACO/Amoonoosuc combo

Sugarbush - just about all of Castlerock. MRG - just about all of it.

 

[snoseek]

Upper mountain at Cannon is classic. Some trails at wildcat also, but they're a bit wider.

what defines "character"? It's very subjective. Which of those listed meet the winding and narrow characteristic?

 

[thetrailboss]

East Bowl at Burke

Ditto.

Add Wilderness/Powderhorn/Lew's Leap at Burke.

Upper and Lower KA at Pico

Sunset Schuss at Pico

 

[Greg]

Annapurna at Hunter could be included here.

 

[wa-loaf]

Sugarloaf - Double Bitter. Winters Way, Bubble Cuffer. Tote Road is probably a little too wide, but it still has a lot of character for an intermediate cruiser.

 

[Dr Skimeister]

Uncles and One More Time at Mt Snow

 

[dmc]

Annapurna at Hunter could be included here.

It's not New England... Technically....

But your right... It's a cool narrow trail... Next to a huge wide trail(44)....
Interesting dichotomy...

Why not change the thread to "Classic, Narrow, Winding" trails in the Northeast for a broader range?
