Which Trails Are Open the Least?

[gmcunni]

Magician obviously I don't think its been open yet this year... looks snowy enough to me lately as long as you are aware there are some boulders hidden under that snow. Which I think is obvious.

magician was open on Sunday (3/3)

Scotties trail is not.open.

Upper Goat and Upper Lookout at Stowe are rarely open, and when they're open, it's rarely worth it. I can only once remember seeing Upper Goat actually have wall-to-wall coverage.

Cannon's Tramline is the "end thread" nomination though.

I can't recall ever seeing the upper liftline at Black Mtn (NH) open.....it's officially on the map as Upper Galloping Goose but not sure they ever open it? Looks fun though....best pitch on the mtn

I have skied the upper liftline almost every time I have gone there which have only been a couple of handfuls of times.

Upoer Magician opened last weekend. Barring a major thaw it should stick around. If there hasnt been any real fresh for a bit stick hard skiers left.

I actually skied it last year as well during the only real snow we had last week of Feb/first week of March

I think Tramline was open this past weekend

Donde esta Sis Boom Bah?

Sis Boom Bah was a "trail" off the ridge located somewhere between Green Beret and Face Chutes. I don't remember it's exactly location. Someone else might have better info.

You will find Sisboomba if you go behind the Sky Haus and instead of turning right to drop into the Face or Tuckerman chutes, you go straight. It dumps you out on Northway on the corner where the gate over to Big Jay is located. It is typically a wind swept rocky/icy mess.

As Dmc said, K27 (Upper & Lower) is open for probably at least a month every single winter. Right next to it is Upper Mossy Brook, and THAT, is never open.
Purna and 44, only one of them are open every single year because they each need like 3 ft of snow to open to the masses. So, they blow snow on one of them every year and in previous years it has been Purna, but now it is Westway for this season.

K27 upper and lower are open most of the winter.

All of Mittersill at Cannon.Hahaha.6 days last year.Going on a whole 2 weeks right now.What?

 

[dmc]

K27 upper and lower are open most of the winter.

yup.. And we can ride it into May because of it's exposure..

With Purna and 44 - it's either one or the other.. This year we got 44... Some years it's neither...

FWIW, Sugarloaf just announced that the frontside snowfields -- White Nitro on down -- are open.

Mossy Brook actually is far below K27. It's always open when I'm there- I ski it as a nice warm down at the end of the day.

Hunter locals/regulars don't tend to talk about our slack country lines like other area skiers do..
We don't usually like publicized glades and things...

I'll be there tomorrow hitting them if they're still open

I'm dating myself, but Louises Folly at Bousquets while growing up was hardly ever open. Aside from the long run (walk) out, the best steep pitch in the area. Haven't been back there but once in 20 years, but the day I was there, it wasn't open. We always had to poach it to ski it!

Ok fair enough.
But why did he let the cat out of the bag, especially when this is a thread about "trails" that are open the least? What a tease!
Just wonderin'.... :-?

All of Hickory. Hasn't opened at all this season- don't think it opened last year either. Hope it doesn't slip back into NELSAP. :sad:
