Which trail do you want to ski the most in the East but never have?

[Vortex]

The Whip is a struggle. There are a few shots of me fighting it. Joe well he was.... still can't explain it, but I want to see him do it again.
He needs a helmet.

I never even bothered skiing the Whip this year even with 24+" of snow on it this February. I generally like trails wider than I am :lol:

Aw....come on. It's not that bad. Bob R had a nice technique on it, utilizing wall-to-wall turns:



I usually try to do quick snappy turns (one of my last runs of the season):


If none of that works for you, you can always take the reckless-abandon-suicidal-maniac approach like my buddy, Joe, does and launch off the left-hand lip:

:lol:

Cool run!

That 2nd picture does not show the fear on my face. I think I watched you guys go down a couple times before I did it. We really need a picture of Joe in the air heading the trees. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Whip is okay, I like to ski in and out of the tree's torwards the bottom. There is usually a crowd looking down into it on the weekends as people get off the King Pine chair.

Binder is a nice trail that is narrower in spots than the Whip, but not as steep.

Thank goodness that lightning hit the t-bar motor to creat the Whip!!!

Next year I plan to ski with you guys at Regaee, even though I do not drink it should stillbe fun.

or me but being a teenager but i dunno if you want me driving... i only drive a little 2 fast.... :wink:

Binder was fun this February, especaily the upper part with untouched powder that I poached by sking through the trees from Timberline to ski the part closed by the ski patrol

I also skied it with 14" of powder from top to bottom, so it was tiring for me.

 

[loafer89]

I HATE to drive, but I do not drink so that's okay with me. I am sure that Nancy will make up for my lack of alchohol intake :roll:

However I like to drive fast, usually about 65+ on route 27, so don't drink too much :beer:

Notes taken for future use. Back to the thread at hand. I would like go to stowe and do the front 4. I have lived a sheltered life.

 

[loafer89]

I think that we could have another thread about trails that you have only skied once but would like to try again. I know that I have bucket loads of those trails.

Regarding Stowe, I just could never get myself to like the place, but skiing the front four again sounds entertaining.

Gotta go on a weekday; Stowe has some of the absolute best tree skiing in the east.

whip definitely isn't a tight trail, looks plenty wide to me. then again, i am used to stuff like this which literally is not as wide as i am tall! :lol:

now a run everyone self proclaimed loafer should ski is cant dog... such a nice wide glade with awsome snow...
it is glade and the whip is a tral so i cant really compare, but everyone should try cant dog, or you cant call your self a loafer...

So made me think... :idea:

So here are the qualifications to call yourself a loafer...
White Nitro(thats a given)
Backside ( only real snowfield/alpine inbounds feel in NE)
Misery whip(had to add it for you guys )
Cant dog(best glade on the mountain)
Rookie River(probably the most famous glade on the mountain,and everyone can see it from lombard X cut, makes you look cool droppin in from the trail)

Anyone wanna add to this list... maybe this should be its own thread :-? cause it is kinda off topic

just looked at the trail map and figured out i have skiied everything at sugarloaf except for 7 trails and 2 glades :blink:

...i am used to stuff...not as wide as i am tall!

I've skiied with you....I'm not sure you drop into things that are much wider than you are "width-wise"... :wink:

...I enjoy dropping into Sugarloaf's whip..."top-to-bottom"... no breaks...just focus...work and enjoy...

And so does Greg...Joe on the other hand...seems to enjoy most of it turning his skis in the highest amount of air he can get... :wink:
