Your favorite long runs..

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey all post some of your favorite long runs. I was going to say that it should be runs over 1500 or 2000 vertical feet but there are some mad steezy long runs covering much less vert. I'll kick off the thread with some of my favorites..

Sunday River: Lollapalooza...

Sugarbush: FIS upper and lower...Bravo/Encore...Brambles..Walts Trail..Upper/Lower Jester..Upper Jester to Springfling..

Jay Peak...Everglade..Kitzbuhl to Stateside glades...Ullrs dream.

Stowe...Toll Road..Ridgeview to Sunrise to Standard to crossover to lower North Slope...Goat..Chin Clip..Perry Merrill..Main Street, Smugglers, Sterling, Nosedive, Pipeline to Goat-dive woods to midway to lower Liftline...

Mad River Glen..20th Hole, Antelope, Fall-line to Gazzell glades..every run at MRG seems long..and I'm bad with trail names there..

Slow-Kemo..Jolly Green Giant, World Cup, Mountain road to Sapphire to the base..

Flatton..Kinderbrook to Sunbowl, Grizzly Bear, skiers left of the Gondola..

K-Mart..4-mile trail, Falls Brook trail

Whiteface..Skyward, Cloudspin, Parons run, Excelsior

Windham..Whirlaway

Hunter..Belt Parkway

Belleayre..Dot Nebal, Deer Run

Camelwack..Nile Mile

Blue mountain..Lazy Mile, Paradise..

West coast Honorable mentions..

Dave Murray downhill at Whistler, Hobacks/Gros Ventre, Sundance at Jackson Hole, Liberty Bowl to the Andesite base at Big Sky 3k+ of vert..then a 4 minute ride up Ramcharger and another 1700 feet of vert down Elk Park Ridge..it makes a vert whore like me weak in the knees.

Riv _ your last one is a favorite of mine too - but don't forget to end that with buck's for just a little more wind sheltered pow

another at Jay -tuckerman's chutes - everglade/staircase - northwest passage - northglade

pumphouse/green beret - right upper milk run - hells - river bed

burke - no names to protect the innocent

I like Pole cat at Wildcat. Just easy and can take in the views. Great family trail. Challenge is not that important to me.

Sunset to Upper speak easy to Upper Rum runner to Coolidge Street one of my favorites well.( when racers are not there)

Sunset to Bear claw extension to Upper flying fox to picaroon. Early morning runs when you can use the 2100 vert feet.

I guess I should mention Picked rock top to Bottom. Early morning and Mid week are the only real times to use them though.

Upper and Lower FIS at Sugarbush.

East Bowl at Burke.

Whatever the hell trail it was that took me from the top of Klein Matterhorn all the way down to Truckner Steg at Zermatt...it was something like 4,500 feet vert...

Hunter- Heuga Express>Broadway>Kennedy or Eisenhower

Killington-
Catwalk>Heavenly Traverse>Upper/Lower Powerline>Racer's Edge.....Cascade Run-out.
Anything off Skye Peak>GE>Valley Plunge.

For Continuous, single-trail-name-the-whole-way: Wizard @ Magic. Throw Slide of Hans in for some ungroomed, natural fun.

Muleskinner back down to the base is a lot of fun, even with the hike out the traverse.

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

At Whiteface: Upper Cloudspin, hard cut to Lower Skyward, Easy Street to Boreen. 3,100 + feet of vert.

 

[kingslug]

I'm with Bob on this one.

And I know they're not really long trails, but relative to the mountain, I like Saco to Tim's Trauma to Lower Cathederal or Kachina Falls to Mythmaker to Tilt to Bear Right to Stoney Brook at Attitash / Bear Peak.

 

[koreshot]

I actually kinda like the Superstar top to bottom run. Lots of change in pitch, easy sections, touch sections, place to catch a bit of air under the lift. When the snow is good, I think that might be my favorite long run at that place.

 

[2knees]

Jester ---> Valley House Traverse ---> The Mall

Middle Earth for one continuous, relentless bump run

 

[Greg]

Jester ---> Valley House Traverse ---> The Mall

With ya on that one!
