"4. Sapphire, Okemo"????
come on if one skis any trail at okemo at a speed greater than a fast walk is going to be read the riot act by the SP.
lets be honest cruising at speed at okemo is a no-no.

Huh...Okemo has great high speed cruisers..Jolly Green Giant is great..and I know that on Sapphire there is one area where you can get a ton of air..but it's a blind landing so have a spotter or you might land on some little kid..

You very well maybe the only person in the world who would call Windowmaker a cruiser. That would be like calling Middle Earth at Sugarbush a cruiser

I skied Flying Yankee about five or more years ago and it was bumps. It was great. Wingding at Mt Sunapee is a great cruiser.

I'll give another nod to the Dippers and Willoughby at Burke. Also I really like Spillway and Narrow Gauge at Sugarloaf.

Northern Lights(SR) is a cruiser...but it's a short-radius-keep-it-under-control trail 4me..;-);-)
Tote Road(Sugarloaf) could, but it's fun @1/2 loafer89's speed..;-);-)

*** Mr. Dynamic *** on the trails... :lol:

Cruiser at Loon is a pretty awesome cruiser - its long and you can hit some real high speeds
Loon has a bunch of other great cruisers, but you have to hit them first thing in the morning, or on a weekday. Using gapers as gates can be fun too though....

Early in the morning at Cannon, Middle and Lower Ravine off of the peabody express can be sweet too, but it gets a bit traffic-ey as the day goes on.
