looks like SB is the call...I've only been there once, not looking for any secret spots, but what are some not-to-miss trails (Steep/bumps) will just help us navigate around the mtn faster and get more turns in...last day of the season for us..thanks

Lincoln Peak or Mt. Ellen (or both)?

BMM was asking you which mountain you wanted advice for. Since I prefer South (Lincoln Peak), I'll tell you to go there ... he'd obviously tell you the opposite :) Don't know how the trees are holding up, but as long as they are open, ski anything off Castlerock, and also Paradise, Mall, Spillsville, and Morningstar. That will get you your fix of bumps. Your best chance at trees are the woods off Paradise because they are high elevation, but you really need someone who has been there recently to let you know how the base is doing in there.

You won't find any bumps at Lincoln Peak as good as the bumps on Cliffs right now.

kcyanks1 warned you... I'm a huge Mt. Ellen fan :D . But Slide Brook will be running... you should check out both mountains. I must admit, some of the bump runs at Mt. Ellen aren't getting quite enough traffic to soften much. But the ones that are (like Cliffs) are unbelievable. The groomers at Mt. Ellen were fantastic this morning, even with the absolutely FREEZING temps (low teens over night, single digits on the summit). Also, the base at Mt. Ellen seems to be holding up better (even though it's closing after tomorrow :roll: ), but the key trails are holding up OK at LP.

Ski both... you won't regret the 12 minute ride on Slidebrook.
