Name the "Classic, Narrow, Winding" trails in New England

[SkiDork]

Catwalk would be superb if it were longer.

 

[severine]

Tom's Treat at Sundown :lol:

Nah, that's too wide. Though Papoose might be a good contender.

 

[drjeff]

Jaws @ Mount Snow

 

[snowmonster]

Goat at Stowe
Goat Path at SR

Pretty much anything named or having to do with a goat or logging it seems like.

+1 including Starr

At Sunday River -- Southpaw, Crossbow, Bim's Whim

 

[Smellytele]

upper Cannon, Skylight, Upper Ravine, Middle hard scrabble - Cannon
Lynx (Upper, Middle and Lower), Upper Catapult, Upper Wildcat, Alley Cat, I would include Pole cat but it is a bit wide - Wildcat

Smuggs has all sorts of narrow winding trails. Catwalk, and Drifter come to mind. There used to be a trail on Sterling called Pussyfoot that zigzagged from the summit to Rum Runner with several fun S-turns. I was there last spring and they had cut all sorts of entrances into it from other runs and renamed the trail something else. All so not New England but Plattekill in the Catskills has all sorts of thin twisty trails.

the toll road at stowe. it maybe a green but its has all sorts of step shots off of it.

This list is getting longer than I thought it would. We may have to do some vetting here. I'm thinking of breaking it into green, blue and black categories for the reader's choice pol...

Don't exactly know the names of the trails but I do remember skiing a few classic narrow, winding ones at Cranmore when I was there a couple years ago. Seemed pretty "old school" to me as opposed to wide, open crusing trails lots of places have now.

 

[WWF-VT]

Upper Smugglers on Spruce Peak at Stowe

 

[JD]

At Stowe I like Smuggler's off the old Big Pig, and Whirl Away. Starr and Goat for old school gnar.

 

[kcyanks1]

Most of mine have already been said, but I'll add Twist, Moonshine, and Jester at Sugarbush South.

 

[SnowRider]

Balance Rock - Wachusett

Not in season here, may take me a while to think of more...

 

[Grassi21]

Tom's Treat at Sundown :lol:

i do enjoy the occasional tom's treat to papoose.

 

[riverc0il]

Goodness, there are not a crap ton to choose from, are there? For the classics, I would go with...

Sugarbush - Rumble
Stowe - Goat
Stowe - Bruce
Saddleback - Muleskinner
Mad River Glen - Fall Line, Lower Antelope
Cannon - Taft

I think 20 feet is wide, so Fall Line probably is a bit much for that list.

Rattlesnake, Schneider, and one other on that side but the name escapes me right now.

OK. here's the list I have so far.
Anything missing?
Looks like VT wins for the largest number!

I want to break it into three lists, green, blue and black, so please respond with the rated level for each trail. Once I have it all, I'll put it up for a vote!

[SLyardsale]

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.

Add Wedge and Boomauger from the "net" down.
