out of those i originally listed, those i hit this season are in bold:

face chutes at jay peak
paradise at MRG
the bruce at mansfield

teardrop at mansfield
top to bottom on mount washington dropping via the lip

not too bad. despite being at jay quite a few times this season, conditions on the face on the days i was there did not entice me. thought about the teardrop a few times, but with the broken arm, timing just wasn't there this season. with the sherbie out already, T2B on washington is no longer possible this season, 07' for all of these pending weather and timing works out right.

Face Chutes at Jay would be my first. After that, Sugarloaf snowfields and anything that's supposed to be good at Smuggs (haven't been to either).
If we can count off-piste, then I'd say Hourglass and Hellbrook at Stowe/Mansfield.

Slides at Whiteface without a doubt.

In that epic winter of '01, We waited patiently for the snow to fill 'em in, drove on up there, got a speeding ticket in Lake George, ran out of gas in the Palisades at 2 am, and when we finally got there... they were closed because of avalanche danger.

When I returned in the spring, they'd closed them 2 days before.

I'd have to say the Slides at Whiteface, but if that isnt "on piste" enough for everybody, then id have to say Muleskinner at Saddleback.

Look at the person standing straight up on the left border of the picture.

Those trees really aren't slanted much. And even if it was slanted, anyone who is standing at that spot would testify to the fact that Ovation really does look that steep from there.

Thats me and SnowPrincess

To do list:

Rumble - Sugarbush/Castlerock
Paradise - MRG
Sheer Boom - 'Loaf
Backside - 'Loaf
West Way - Hunter
Front Four - Stowe
Ovation - Killington
DF - Killington

I can check off Rumble and Paradise off my list. I should add the slides at Whiteface and Ripcord at Mount Snow.

Still haven't done any of mine. But I did make it up to the Chin at Stowe and ski Profanity. I doubt I'll get to Sugarloaf any time soon, or probably Smuggs for that matter, but hopefully I can ski the Face Chutes or some more of Stowe next season.

Too many to list at this early stage in my career. I'll bump this thread in about 2 or 3 years.

I ticked off Face Chutes at Jay this season. Pretty disappointing actually. Not on the list but anything but disappointing was Big Jay. Still want to do Washington top to bottom and hit the Teardrop. Also need to hit some other ridge accessed BC on Mansfield. I skied a ton of first time stuff this past season that was not on my "must ski" list before.

Whoa, nice bump. Interesting to see what I hadn't skied just a mere three years ago. Skied the Lip in Tux this year so the only thing on my original list is Teardrop and skiing off the summit of Washington top to bottom. Also skied off the Mansfield ridge this season though not Teardrop specifically. Dodge's is now on the list and I still haven't done Left Gully from the top. Not many on piste trails I can think of. I have never skied Smuggs, so pretty much everything on Madonna and Spruce is on the list, especially the liftline.
