    Not a bad way to end the day!

    I grew up at Meadows, so I concidered a vote for off of Cascade, but it just doesn’t win out to the wide open straight shot that is Willis to Gordon’s to Mustang Sally.

    Since opening Cloud Chaser, I have only gotten 4 days in at Bachelor, and none of them have been when Summit and Cloud Chaser have both been open. I need to catch a nice sunny day over there soon.

    Here is my littlest’s ready for first time off Summit face

    I also like Ridge Runner on Blackcomb for something a tad shorter.

    I haven’t skied at every western resort, but I have at most of the well known ones. I feel like the title of this thread really could be “Have You Skied Sun Valley Before or Not?”

    Very true.. groomers were pretty much all we had last year. I hope to be one of those old fuckers mobbing groomers every morning. I just am suprised to see it so warmly received. Maybe Marcus Caston's campaign is catching on.. I appreciate the resorts entire catalogue but for my money it doesnt get any better than a see forever into a perfectly corned up milk run to kids hill in one gigantic airplane turn and back up lift 7 (micheal bolton on the headphones, of course)

    The older one gets the more one appreciates the groomers on so many levels.
    When I retire, I'm gonna buy all the ikon, epic, etc. passes, and live in parking lots checking out all the ski areas I never got to ski on account of working long seasons in the LCC.
    The list y'all are making will be pinned on the dashboard!

    This thread is why I don’t even bother bringing skis out east to visit my teething grounds.

    Generally speaking these days, the best groomer is the one that’s not been groomed.

    P.S. I do get off on pushing my carve and laying trenches on a good groomer, but “best groomer” is not a concept that has ever entered my mind or memory. But...whatever blows yer skirt up!

    That is a great idea. Problem is, so many places have no lot to stay over night in.

    It's not that I don't find the occasional groomer bombing a fun way to let out my inner East Coast child, but it gets really boring really quickly and this is TGR, not Alpine Zone.
    Then again, I've met a lot of you, and you're mostly old now, lol.

    Peak to Creek is indeed hard to beat, as is many others mentioned here.

    As a kid, I remember having a really good tome lapping Eliie's at Heavenly. Steep enough where you could carve the whole time, not too many people when I was there
    Education must be the answer, we've tried ignorance and it doesn't work!

    Yeah, that is a dandy. There is another one at Telluride that is billed as the steepest groomed run in the world. Spiral Stairs? Whichever it is, on my old Atomic SL 9-11’s you had to be ON those bad boys or it was game over. I was scared chitless laying down train tracks on that fun, but so in the moment it was intense. So much fun.

    Kicking Horse, when the front
    Side is groomed is fast cruising.

    Also, if they groom Stumbocks at Panorama, it can be a gas as well.

    Silvercloud off lift 15 in revy bowl is the steepest we groom. Steepest in the world? I'm not gonna get into that bag of worms but it is pretty damn steep.. great place for watching low consequence jerry-slide-for-lifes.

    I don't know how it compares but Dogleg at Squaw is fairly steep and usually very firm; when they ran the National Champ GS there a couple of years ago racers said it was steeper than any WC GS. (Ligety, among many others, DNF. The local racers who trained that run every day when they were juniors did well.) I wouldn't call it a favorite--way too short and a long slow lift ride, but I try to do it a couple of times on groomer days--a good run for pointing out bad technique. Beats lapping Shirley Lake for sure.

    Also, I seem to remember some groomed glades on Blue Ski Basin....but it was long ago, and I can't recall the trail name.
