Number 4) from takeahike46er's post is disappointing if that means wider, straighter trails as opposed to windier, narrow trails. I wonder if Faceplant's observation has anything to do with that -...

Thanks for the tips KC, as you could tell im sure i dont ride at Gore much at all. Ill be sure to print your recommendations to bring along with me this week when i ride Gore.[/quote]

Your...

I voted for the third option, but only because it was the best of 3 options I wouldn't have taken. I would not go back to the base at the beginning of the day, eliminating Foxlair-Wildair and the...

I don't have them, but I think they are viable. Maybe some day I won't be able to withstand the cold anymore and will make the swtich, but not for now. I don't think they affect the fit too much...

Another subway series ... with the same outcome ... would be great :-) Though getting to the WS would be fun in itself. It's been so long :-)

We can agree to disagree on the fence thing, but now ... Seriously, though, it wouldn't be as much fun as a Yankees fan if there weren't fans of the losing teams too :-) (And no, I'm not a front...

What better is there to do? It's not like we could be skiing in some fantastic new powder or anything :-)

<snipped>



I would disagree here. There have been times when I've lost an edge and...

Yes, you can. Same areas are statistically more likely to cause injuries than others. You can choose to put a fence in some places not others. Perhaps drawing a line isn't easy or there isn't an...

No, only on trails that seem to have an especially high rate of injuries due to skiing off the trail in specific places. Lies might be such a trail. As to helmets, no, because that is paternalism...

I seem to remember one in the past couple years. Very sad when these things happen, which unfortunately seems to be a couple times a season just in the east.

I think both are a factor. I love natural snow, even when there is less of it. I think you post in the MRV group. I have a trip report from mid-Dec where I talk about skiing Spillsville and...

I somehow managed to ski at Gore for about 18 years (haven't gone the past couple), without knowing about off-the-map glades.. So going by the on-the-map ones, and not including additions from the...

That's a fair view. I have found that Double Barrell is the only trail that develops nice mogul patterns. Hawkeye used to, as you said, but no more. Rumor in the spring has some nice ones, though...

It opens up from where you described above and close it before that cliff. There are still "little" drops along that and with the lift towers cutting the trail in half it can be pretty tight in...

Never got to ski Dark Side Glades yet. Haven't been there since they opened it up. That's under the High Peaks Chair, right? From what point under the lift is it officially open? From Cloud down...

For those for whom the subject is not enough, there is the beginning of a trail cut from the top of Upper Darby going down in the direction of headwaters. This was cut either the same time or a year...

Not to stir up a big fight or be too negative, but I want to try to get some more active threads going, and it was something that came to mind. I voted for grooming too many trails. For many years...

No familiarity here. I was always wondering how much they'd be worth it (for someone who likes downhill not cross-country), but I never got a chance to try them out because I'd normally go to Gore...

Seems like a popular thread in the Whiteface forum and other forums, so here it goes:

Mine is Double Barrell, followed by Rumor.

Large vertical per-run and limited crowds would be the biggest reasons to me. The terrain can be good, but they just don't get the snow that central-norther VT gets, making it less likely everything...

1. Slides, if open. 2. Empire, if open. 3. Tie between Skyward and Cloudspin. I also like the bumbs on Upper Mac like redallenx11, though I've gone way beyond naming my favorite (singular) trail...
