Favorite Ski Trails in New York?

Was thinking about how much I like Plunge at Plattekill. Probably my favorite in the Cats.  I was having a much harder time picking a favorite in the Adirondacks or backcountry. Never really skied in Central or Western NY.

What are your favorites by region or type?

Now remember I AM An old guy  now so am primarily a cruiser  cant. Stay with you studs in the woods n bumps

NY
Whiteface ...Parons ,

Gore.....Twister but also love combo of Uncas and Tannery together and when wind is tough the North or Dark sides  but only if the wind is in play otherwise it is a hit em once deal

Titus  ...Promise or Titusville
Tupper .....Upper lower crosscut combo plus old # 5 not sure what its really called but its off chair 2

Whiteface - Skyward.  Especially in April!  Although McK a close second
Gore - Sagamore

So tough to choose so I went with a few by type at my home mountain Gore:

Old School Northeast:
Upper Darby

Springtime Gem:
Rumor

On the Map Glade:
Twister

Off the Map Glade:
Snoopy Chute

Hare for a trail and Paul's Peril for a glade, both at Hickory.

I'll go with Twister at Gore.  Long, winding and various pitches make it one of the most interesting Blue trails around.

My favorite's at Gore are Sagamore, Echo, Twister, and Showcase.  My favorite's at Whiteface are Paron's Run and Excelsior.  I like  Hoyt's and Wilmington as well.

I'd say my favorite run, although not in NY is Sterling at Stowe.  

Whiteface - Upper & Lower Skyward it's such a big wide trail, there is something for every type of skier.

Gore - Sagamore - seems to go on forever.

Belleayre - Lift Line under the Tomahawk - pretty tight trail and lots of pressure from the peanut gallery on the lift.

On Little Whiteface-  upper mac to lower mac

On the biggest hill in the east-  Cloudspin when open...otherwise- Sky

on the Lookout Mtn...I enjoy the Wilmington Trail

Skyward

Upper Cloudspin by far is my favorite

The slides were open last spring and were crowded and totally skied out after a run or so and I happily skied powder on Cloud well into the afternoon.

I also have a thing for Empire.  It's the opposite of Cloud.  Cloud skis so different depending if you ski it left right or middle.  Empire dictates to you since its maybe 12 feet wide.

Probably Skyward for me, I remember the huge smile I got on my face the first time I ever skied it.

Honorable mention to Lower Steilhang at Gore, Blockbuster at Plattekill, and maybe Helmer's at McCauley.

Rumor at Gore. EDIT: also Double Barrel

Empire at WF, but I also like Lookout Below.

A second mention for Blockbuster here! Truth be told I haven't skied at any other mountains in NY other than Hunter and that was early season but my best memory of skiing in NY is doing laps on BB in spring skiing conditions. It was sick, full on face slush shots all day long.

Looking back it's weird and now unknown to me how I found Plattekille. This was 93 and I fell in love with it the moment I pulled into the parking lot and looked up at the place. I went to Hunter once but I wasn't driven to ever go back. It was meh....

  Plunge is a great trail, give me Plattie when Northface , Plunge and Block are open and no place in PA or the Cats I would rather be.
  Hope Laz  revives that old lift they got from Tanglewood, that would bring back the memories.

Plunge is my vote on a powder day. Laszlo needs to go wall-to-wall bumps in the spring though.

No Hunter love?
