In the chic chocs there is Caramel, which is between Mae West and Joe Louis.
Several have started out as locals names but have since made the map.
Omar's Ear
DMI
Hippie Hill
Guard-rail Bowl, its next to the forbidden zone.
Baker has more rider applied run names than official ones. And that's just inbounds. Adding the arm, and everything that exits in the Bagley Lakes easily triples that.
Below Snagglepuss: Valley of No Return (aka Hwy 542 under 10 feet of snow)Quote:

Libraries is one of the stranger unofficial names (it's quiet? nobody ever goes in there? Shh, don't say anything?)
Cajun Couloir
in Jh, top of tram into 10sleep bowl, via the cliffs beneath the tram cables above tower 5.
I think it used to be, I noticed the official trail map became a lot simpler than in years past.Quote:

Huh. In my head I always spelled it Pee Garden. Always thought it would be a rough spot to take a piss.Quote:

Deathstar is just the perfect description.
Only two have ridden it.Quote:

Interesting him scoping it from the old tram, pre 2006.
How about rapid names?
Tighter than a nuns.
Run rabbit run

None of our trees runs are on the map. Those with widely recognized names are pretty mundane- “enchanted forest”, “ice cream sundae”. I’m not sure I’m allowed to say more than that
DRCS (dirty rotten cock sucker)
I think that’s kind of the point. If it’s not on the map and you say the name what are you giving away unless the name identifies it’s locationQuote:

Looks like newer management redeemed themselves, because it's back to 666 on the map.
Every freakin rock, stump, outcrop and funny looking or not tree has a name at BB. Many have 2 or 3 names including the adult as well as G rated ones, some similar, some totally different. Love hearing the stories about how they got the love.Quote:

Here at my hill in JP--
Rabbits: because of how often we ski with rabbits. We spook them up, they run downhill because that's the fastest direction. But we're also going down hill. Fun as shit chasing rabbits.
Katsu Curry: smells like curry when entering this area. So if you ever smell curry, turn right into the forest.
The Dam: pretty self-explanatory. You'll know it when you see it. You can air the skier's left pillar.
Above Paradise: was technically illegal for my first decade. We would have to out-ski patrol chasing us. Which was actually easy at the time.
Max 38 Trees: because the forest is so tight, it's "max 38 speed." Steep and technical. The snow sluffs with you. Don't stop. Drop in and get the fuck out of there.
The Deer Trail: without making the traverse between these two trees, you will never access the steeper, left half of the forest.
Hahnenkamm Heights: a chunk of forest at the peak that gets massive wind. Standing on top makes you feel like you're hauling ass. You have to tuck/crawl over the peak.
Dragon's Face: Only ever been skied once, by me, and only the lower half. Climbed halfway up and found myself shoulder deep in a wall of sugar. Gripped. Couldn't get it all. South facing, wind-loaded, low altitude. It's only possible a few days every few years. Absurd avi danger. Highly illegal. I've attempted climbing it a few times only to get turned away by moving snow. It's like trying to tame a small dragon.
The Beach: a small, double fall-line roller on lower mountain that sits in the sun and sees very little traffic. Always worth a lap or two for GS points.
Tarzan's Jungle: a forest with huge, hanging vines. Very aesthetic, rolly-polly terrain. Feels like another land far away from everything you know.
