Mess Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I am pretty comfortable with any trail in Poconos that don't have bumps. Elevator at Jack Frost and White lightning at Sno would get my vote. I have not skied the glades. Would be interested in everyones opinion. My ACL is scheduled for Jan. 20th so I should be good to go for the start of next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Law Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 In PA the two toughest trails are Extreme at Denton A TRIPLE DIAMOND !!!! and East Wall Glades at Blue Knob both are probably a 3/10 on the global scale. There are very very steep pillows that form in decent snow years near the PA grand canyon from the Pine Creek action but I've never had skis with me on the random trips up that way to hunt.

RidgeRacer Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 In the poconos I'd say Risk it, Elevator or White Lightning giving Risk it the slight edge depending on which route you take (cliff or the bail out route). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Clauss Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Lightning at sno, The skiers right in the woods can be a blast (when there's real snow) it's just as steep, just trees and ledges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tough question. White Lightning at Sno is my fav for two reasons other than pitch... it's long and rarely icy as they always keep fresh snow on it. Tunkhannock at Elk is a hell of a challenge when the bumps are big. It's not super steep but the challenge is running it from the top non-stop and see if your legs give way before gettting to the cross over. But yeah, Extreme at Denton is a riot. They run races off the top of that, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
