On this last trip, North St. Pats and No Names had to be two of my favorites for powder stashes and adrenaline. On the groomers side -- I had some awesome early morning runs down Rainbow and Buddy's.

Most of the runs off the Sunshine Lift. I like to exit the lift to skiers left, then under the lift, through some trees to the left and onward. Sunshine Lift line is good to get some speed and work on some parallel turns or take a bump around the lift poles. Definitely like Cowboy Cofee and Frying pan (just wish the lift was high speed).

It would be nice if it was high speed.

Yipee!! Now that I've actually been there, I can give an opinion on the boat!!!! For me, the wuss that i am, I loved Tomahawk and Quickdraw. Im sure a lot of the mountain is like this, but these runs at lunch time and after 230 pm are DEAD. I mean so dead, I'm almost afraid if I wreck it'll me quite a while until help would arrive.

As for Buddys, never made it over there. Heard it was not in good shape wth the weather they had while we were there. I would love Heavenly Daze if it had a good 5inches of powder on it before I'd give it a try - hopefully next year.

We heard the nick name of heavenly daze was heavenly glaze because every time we go on it there is ice. What do you think of that nickname?

That is what is generally know as since it gets the afternoon sun and has a tendency to go through a freeze / melt cycle in warmer weather. The groomers do a pretty good job with what they have to work with.

It is way to hard to choose one. Here are the contenders:

Long groomer laps: High noon to Rolex or Westside. Upper Valley View to See ya/See me. Storm Peak South to Rainbow.

Short groomer runs: Teds Ridge, Three O'Clock and Voodoo.

"Off Piste"/ Powder: 2:30 Trees, Sundown Liftline, Shadows/ Closets and The Ridge.

Best all around run may have to go to Rainbow. The snow is almost always great and it has the perfect pitch for cruising.

My favorite runs are Rolex and See Me when groomed or new powder but I have less experience with the mountain than probably most here.I like Tomahawk for a blue run when it is groomed and fast but avoid it after a heavy snow-you will slog more than ski.
