For whatever reason, Sheer Boom at Sugarloaf (under the Super Quad) has eluded me. I say each time I ride that lift that I'm gonna hit it, but it seems I never end up skiing it. I also hope to hit Rumble at Sugarbush someday as well as Master Magician at Magic. I've also never skied Ripcord at Mount Snow, nor Devil's Fiddle at Killington.

What trails have eluded you?

nothing really on the East Coast...
One thing that eluded me was "Big Couloir" at Big Sky.
It was closed for filming when I was there..

The chutes (just opened in 2004) at Mt. Rose in Tahoe. :D
At least a single black chute.

Rumble and Liftline at the 'bush are still on my list.

As for Jay, want to get out to Beaver Pond, Beyond, Green Baret, and the Tuckerman Chutes at some point...it's always been too windy or too icy when I've been there :roll:

I was going to say.... wait a minute, what I'm I doing skiing at K-Mart??
Almost reminds me of the Sisters at Kirkwood, but this photo appears to be much steeper.

Brag that you actually skied the run or brag that you rolled down the whole trail? :wink:
Just make sure there's no one with a video camera or still camera near you.

Corbets does look cool but there is no way I'm ready for Corbets. Maybe 2006/07. :wink:
Next season, goal is to do steeper steeps and tighter tree runs.

Yes, I found that out this year at Tahoe. Totally got into the glades at Heavenly (near Motts Canyon). On a non-powder day and then the day after 2 ft. of snow. Awesome! I kept saying to the folks I was with that this was a great place to work on my tree runs.
