Guest Randy S. Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 What's your favorite name for a run at a ski are? Not the name of your favorite trail, but the name that you think is best. It could be funny, descriptive or just exciting. I'll try to keep this rated PG. At Alpine Meadows we have a run that is a VERY TIGHT chute. In mixed company we call it "NC Chute". The NC stands for Nun's C--t (presumably a very tight part of most nuns' anatomy). We also have a run called Idiot's Delight, but I like NC better. I've never had the balls to do NC Chute, but I've seen it done. It has steep rock walls on either side, is maybe 6 feet wide for a 30-40 foot stretch and is super steep. It can only be ridden on a deep powder day by someone with major skills. What do you guys have to say? Let's see if this thread holds up to the censors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gendzwill Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 "Cleavage" at Sunshine - it's a run that goes between two really big rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Bridger has a run called "6th grade virgin". It's not a wide open cruiser. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm glad my daughter doesn't live in MT. They don't stay virgins past 6th grade there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 So, we're riding up the lift one day, and we see a bunch of patrollers looking for someone - one person says "I wonder who they're looking for" - another person replies "Jimmy Hofa." From that day forward, that run has been Jimmy Hofa. I think my group of riding / skiing buddies has come up with a new name for almost every run in Utah... Since Randy wanted to keep this PG-13, I can't list most of them here... BTW - Neil is that you in your avatar? (Just kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim Tuthill Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hangmans at Mammoth. Same discription as Randys, narrow chute, rocks bothsides, powder. I've done it once on a board,not alpine. I think as one gets a little older the need to do these runs starts to fade into common sence?? How about Jaws this winter??

knoch Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 ever since i was like 10, and i skied at breckenridge for the first time, i thought Devil's crotch was an awesome name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleaman Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 At Apex , the one side of the mountain is dedicated to guns, we call them the gun runs, some of the names are ...Magnum, Dirty harry, Winchester etc. Some of the patrolers have cleaned lines in the trees between the runs in the summer time and named them Shotgun Wedding and Pump Action. Pump Action is hard to find, but it has a cool name and is a sweet line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utahcarver Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 My local area is : Beaver Mountain, it has a run called, Tunnel Of Love. The best run on the mountain has always been 'The Backside'. The lodge sells t-shirts/hoodies which say: "Wax Your Stick With A Little Beaver" (Little Beaver is a lift/run which services beginners). I feel so dirty, I need a shower:( If you are the first 5 readers of this post you get to read it before it gets pulled!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philfell Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Beaver is in Logan Canyon, right? I'm so there this winter to get on of those hoodies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahcarver Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Phil, Yep, just 45 minutes from Logan thru Logan Canyon. For a mom and pop operation, this place is okay. For a ski/board community with conservative family values we sure seem to have a healthy sense of humor. Mind you, you're not gonna find a kegger every day but, sometimes you can 'smell mother nature' on the chairlift from time to time (think: burning rope).

CarvCanada Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Verboten (really sweet pattern of boulders, hills and lift poles under a lift in Tremblant that gives S turns in the pow all the way down, kind of like a natural boardercross course. Although, you have to make your way through the Mogue (after Mogadishu in Somalia to get there, and then the Skinny's (ski patrol) come after you) That's all a terribly politically incorrect reference to east africa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AlpentalRider Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 in the Alpental backcountry, there's a run called Roxoff...saying goes there's nothing better then getting your Roxoff And if you go further out in the BC, there's a pass that everyone takes to get into Great Scott Bowl called Piss Pass. If you take a wrong turn, you'll definately piss your pants lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I vaguely recall something at Alpental being called 'Shelley's Chute' about 15 years ago, after a woman hiked out that way to take some pictures, and fell off a cliff and died. How morbid is that? Not sure if it really counts as a run though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateW Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I had to ask, because if you could do the Grand Tetons, that would be every bit as cool as getting Roxoff. Teton is French for breast. The mountain range was originally named Le Trois Teton by French fur trappers, for the three most prominent summits. It was lonely out there in those days.... http://www.naturalmoment.com/mountains/sunrise_tetons.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronG Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 There is a run off the top of Mammoth that is called "Huevos Grande" Appropriate name for the run, personally I have never skied it cuz I have "huevos poco" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
