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

[Vortex]

I like reading other peoples ideas so I can find some new fun stuff. :idea:

There is nothing that is really all that difficult at KMart. All the trails are so wide that you can just bail if you run into trouble or make really wide turns down the trail. I'm trying to think of a tough, narrow trail at KMart but failing - can anyone help me out?

Catwalk and Rounabout are tight and narrow. Roundabout is my second favorite trail behind Royal Flush at Killington.

You know, for all the times I've skied Jiminy Peak, I've never skied Liftline. I've only seen it open a handful of times, and just never got to it...

Is Lookout the trail to skier's right of Starr? There's a lift (a double I think) going up it? Last time I was there that run was good quality natural snow, a little thin in places and boot top deep in others. It was surprizingly steep in places too.

Yeah, that's the one

Pizza maybe next season we will attempt it together. The blind leading the blind. I'll ski behind ya though if you don't mind!
:lol:

It's embarrassing to admit, but I'm afriad to ski Devil's Fiddle at Killington. I really want to ski it though. Even my kid skis it. :roll:

Me too! I'm such a chickenshit..
Except for the bit about the kid skiing the Fiddle - Rufus isn't old enough to ski DF yet.

There are many very difficult tree runs if you want narrow and steep. And many of them are not really ones you can bail on.

Most are out of bounds favorites in the Mansfield region - teardrop is one I've never done and would like to try.

I've also never had the pleasure of skiing Upper Liftline at Smuggs with good snow - looks like a ton of fun.

 

[deadheadskier]

oh and how could I forget - The Slides at Whiteface

Yes, and the trail has always been CLOSED whenever I've been up there :x

There is nothing to be afraid of with skiing Devil's Fiddle. The headwall is steep, but much less so on skiers left.

The only down side is that once you are on it there is no bailing out until you get to the bottom. I skied it in April and the bumps were HUGE and I fell several times, but still had fun

Cascade Headwall, Double Dipper and Ovation are more frightening to me, more because they are usually a skating rink, while Devil's Fiddle faces south.

Just take your time getting down any steep trail, choose your path carefully, and you will be just fine.

The Cascade, Downdraft and Ovation headwalls are all fun when there is enough snow on them. They blew snow on the Downdraft headwall last season and groomed it which made for some slick skiing after a while. I would opt for the Cascade headwall almost every time. Ovation headwall got tricky towards the end of the season when you had to jump into it. This past season a lot of people were able to experience Devil's Fiddle because they blew snow on it. I prefer the right side because it sees less traffic and generally the snow is better there. My son enticed me to jump off the small cliff - I did not land too well but I will have to try it again next season.

I don't know what you guys are talking about when you mention the Double Dipper headwall since the upper part of Double Dipper is a short intermediate run. Do you have that confused with Downdraft?

Anything at MRG. i'll get there before i die.
Black Hole at Smuggs just to see why they call it a triple black. (marketing perhaps?)
Anarchy at Killington

Black Hole at Smuggs just to see why they call it a triple black. (marketing perhaps?)

There are some really tight trees and nice chutes in there (not sure if it's technically Black Hole or a spin-off). I still think it should only be a double black though.

As for me, I would say the snowfields are definitely on the list, as are the slides at Whiteface.
