I don't remember Annapurna being narrow..isn't it over 30 feet wide?

We're talking narrow by snow making trail standards. It's way wider than 30 feet, but still pretty narrow for a trail with snow making.

Like 2/3s of the trails at Camelback are narrow and they all have snowmaking on them..Blue mountain is mainly wide trails but The Chute and sections of Burma road are narrow and have snowmaking..

agree with greg. purna would be one that comes to mind. at k they've blown on powerline which is narrower than purna but nowhere as steep. other than that middle downdraft or vertigo.

east coast trails are generally narrow and east coast trails generally have snowmaking on them..what about Jolly Green Giant at Okemo..that is about the same width as Anapurna at Huntah,..

Southpaw at Sunday River is pretty narrow for a snowmaking trail.

At Sugarloaf, Misery Whip and Upper Binder, IF I am not mistaking has snowmaking

Loon, Haulback and Cant Dog

Neither did in the past and Misery Whip does not, but Upper Binder may now, but only because of the proximity of pipe.

That trail aint narrow!
Agree in general, and that was my first thought. When I think narrow I think Empire at Whiteface, or Rumble at Sugarbush. But you won't find snowmaking on those kinds of trails. So, as Greg said, consider "narrow by snowmaking standards"......and 'Purna might fit that bill. It's a great trail.
