I agree with TheTrailBoss & RivecOil, Fox's Folly under the Quad at Burke is fun.

Quiet up top, challenging in the middle and a bit of a flair towards the bottom.

Enjoyable.

Redline!

I have to now add Redline at Magic to my repertoire:



That pic barely shows how steep that section is. The real nasty stuff is up from that too. Didn't ski the upper drop, but navigated the second two.

Needle's Eye Liftline at Killington can be a lot of fun, as can Conclusion, although I don't know if that'd count as a true liftline.

i love needles liftline also. Its true natural terrain complete with stumps and rocks. not typical killington stuff.

That bottom section of redline is steeper than i remembered it. Its harder then the upper cliffs in my opinion.

Is that your excuse for the 2 falls?

no excuses, just a general lack of talent really.

actually the second one was more of a flop. the first one, i dont know what happened other then i was generally in the back seat, out of control and hanging on for dear life.

i am impressed by the coverage on red line, very nice. i really enjoy red line. steep with terrain features and low chair lifts with an audience, sweet.

last friday i learned that the drops off the top of the bonaventure chair at jay peak are fun. though the lift line opens up on to can am, so it looses major points. if the lift line and can am were completely separated, that would rank rather high on my list.

Liftline at Berkshire East looked pretty sweet from the lift. After reading the Thin Cover thread I regret not trying it.

Jim, Brian and I marveled at these runs with Skip when we visited in March. The lift lines under the Top Ridge and High Peaks chairs look awesome too. I just wish the conditions were better that day. The snow on the natural runs were flash frozen the entire day. Gore seems pretty underrated. I need to try to get back there after some decent snowfall to sample the goods this season.

Needle's Eye Liftline at Killington...

Indeed! A great trail. I only skied it once on my final day this season and that was before it fully softened, but definitely an intense trail. Lots of drops and obstacles. Agreed; not typical Killington.
