Blue cleaned up the trash at least under the super summit safari six 

Don’t worry new ski lift litter just dropped to fill the lift line back up

I think I only have 4 or 5 days total at Montage, but I think the Long Haul was running every time. 

If that fancy ski through hotel they dropped ever gets put in, I bet they get a high speed quad to replace the long haul

If they were to put a HSQ somewhere I would prefer it replace Phoebe Snow as you can’t access Cannonball Smoke Boomer or White Lightning from Long Haul. And really Long Haul is not convenient for much of the upper mountain terrain either.

Connecting whistler straight to rattler would give another top to bottom run, which I think would make it worth it.

new trail map in the works.

Definitely doesn’t surprise me. They were pretty thin when I was there a week ago.

shout out to KSL for holing it down in PA and their efforts in keeping blue and that other place going strong,

the other place with the 16 distinct and unique TTB runs?  that place?

Yes...the place with the 16 unique waterslides and "aqua features"

I give up  what place is that?

Camelback has at least 18 - a couple were closed last weekend

A generous count would give Blue 13.

What place in PA has 16? Is that Elk?

You are smoking better stuff than GSS.

Camelback has 18? I counted 11. And that 11 is generous as most of those share runouts. (i'm bored waiting for a meeting to start)

They done all go TTB but you get distinct enough to be interesting routes - in addition to the 11 you highlighted - on

Hump

Baselisk

Marges

Uncle Bills

Lower Cleo

Oak/Turkey

Moores Ramble

Rhododendron

 

so my mistake it’s 19 - and I hit all that are open whenever I go

 

Getting Blue up to 13 requires counting Free Fall and ignoring that everything funnels into 4 trails at bottom that really only differ in the extent of park features

Elk is realistically the NEPA Champ of run diversity with 16 that all come close to covering the full 1000’ vertical

They have 4 TTB runs.  Blue probably has the same.  Arguing over who has the most TTB runs in PA is like arguing over who has the best boiled hot dog.  

i will argue that switchback last weekend was way more fun than any trail at Camelback.
