the best lift lines (to ski)

[thetrailboss]

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.

Word. Great trail. I managed to hit it on one of the last weekends this season...it was doable...especially on 110's ! :wink:

Has anyone said Liftline at Jay Peak (under the Bonaventure Quad)?

The Upper Part is downright hairy...

I hit it that day before it was really ready. I kind of wish I tried it again later that day, but the Vertigo bumps were just too much fun.

That does look nice, at Jay.....

Liftline at Jay is pretty crazy at the top if you want to make it that way. It then mellows out to an excellent bump run as the angle decreases near the bottom.
Here is a video of one of my friends eating it hard trying too double of the headwall cliff.

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.

Yeah buddy . . .

I'm definitely in for an AZ gathering at Gore this year . . . just let me know a little bit in advance so I can get off of my real work schedule.

High Pines Glades, Dark Side Glades, Gunbarrel and Showcase are some of the best liftlines in the East.

Also, they're starting to cut the new trails on Burnt Ridge in August, so they should be available for hike to stuff this winter . . . I predict epicness . . .

While I agree that Chute under the fabled Mad River Glen Single Chair is a great liftline run. For my money I prefer Lift Line at Mad River,(love that double fall line) beginning just below Mid Station. It is the course for the Tripel Crown Unconventioanl terrain Compatition. Chute and Lift Line are an amazingly tough 1-2 punch of a liftline.

My other favorites at Sugarbush. I love The Mall under the Valley House Double and of course the Castlerock Liftline.

Any discussion of nutty liftlines must also include Taos New Mexico's Al's Run. Bumps, bumps and more bumps. I get tired thinking about it!

How could I miss the Mall... great run.

Under the tram at Cannon. Its never been open when I've been there. Its got to be one of the steepest inbounds runs anywhere.

I'm going to have to say the Snowdon Poma at Killington.



You oughta see the looks of terror on the lift riders' faces when you come screaming down weaving in between em.
