What is the North East's Craziest inbbounds territory? Do we have inbound killer area

[bdfreetuna]

Church @ Sugarbush (does this count as inbounds?)

Jay Peak Ridge especially if you drop in between Pump House and Face Chutes

certainly if you push the limits of the area called Paradise at MRG you can get in some hairy territory

Have never skied The Slides so can't compare... but the 3 I mentioned above most reliably make me nervous.

Church is technically inbound if you go by ski area boundary.

Stein's. You should see all the fools on that run. It looks dangerous!

Well that would make the answer easy. Nothing! Not in bounds. If there was, you'd hear about people dying all the time. Actually, the true answer is an intermediate or expert groomer with an intermediate that thinks there expert. Caught edge, tree, death.

Out of bounds or even in bounds you can always manufacture something. You could probably find some sick cliff in the Poconos with a nail the landing or hit a tree and die type of scenario.

Please, someone say K27 at Hunter. That's always worth a :-D

Not sure if I agree. There are definitely trails where once you commit and drop in you have to make certain expert moves and/or stick to a certain path or risk a very nasty fall. Corbet's Couloir at Jackson Hole comes to mind. I'm not saying everyone that falls there dies or is seriously injured, of course they don't, but there is very high potential for it. I think that's the kind of terrain the OP is talking about. A trail where there is no easier option and no backing out once committed.

I don't think there's much of that in the East aside form Jay's Face Chutes and the Slides at Whiteface. And, of course, everything is conditions dependent.

Was wondering about our North East mountains and inbounds danger areas.

Hunter, Belt Parkway, 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon.

Is that like driving through NYC on a Friday afternoon?

Much worse. At least in the city there's a one in ten chance they'll use a turn signal.

And there's not a sheet of ice on the road.

Don't fall on lower Ovation at K.

That's one mans opinion. It makes my balls tingle.

Backside snowfields at the loaf are no joke.

Not even close to the same category as some of these other runs. It's basically a very short yet steep pitch but with no danger at all besides sliding to the bottom
