Similar to the threads about ski areas and lifts.

The Rumor (Gore)
Lies (Gore)
Fairview (Gore)
Open Pit (lower part) (Gore)
Chatiemac Glades (Gore)
Straightbrook Glades (Gore)
Foxlair (Gore)
Pine Knot (Gore)
Kill Kare Glades (Gore)
Twister Glades (I think) (Gore)
Topridge (I think--might have been the 2nd year) (Gore)
Uncas (I think--might have been the 2nd year) (Gore)

At Killington I believe I skied some of the new trails that were cut the first year the Skyeship was open in the Needles Eye area, but I can't remember which. I do not believe Vertigo was one I skied that year though.

There are probably others, but that's what I can think of. Maybe I hit a couple first-year trails at Whiteface too.

1987/88 First "official guest" skier on White Heat......

Ended up working for SR for 20+ years, and skiing all of the new trails on White Cap, Aurora, Jordan + Oz before they were open to the public.

Razor's Edge at Blue Mtn.
Possibly Vertigo at Killington......I think that may be it.

EDIT: Forgot that powerline can be considered a "new" trail, skied it both this year and before it was official.

Powerline would actually be on my list (for skiing it the first season it was legitimate, assuming that was this past year).

Some of the summit greens at Jiminy a few years back (Outback, Roundabout), Riptide and Willie's Gulch after they were cleared. I may have skied some of the new trails off Widow White's Peak after that opened. Can't remember. Powerline at Killington.

Vertigo, Double Dipper and Cruise Control at Killington. Powerline (official) too.

The summit greens also at Jiminy + the original Riptide trail (it was a glade before they made it a run). I guess the trails on Widows too.

Mickey's Glade at Brodie after they enlarged it and installed snowmaking.
