    I call BS. They removed it from the trail map because they knew the conditions wouldn't allow it this year??
    The Narrows is a challenging run that takes quite a bit of snow coverage. And while it’s still available when conditions permit, the decision was made to remove it from the trail map this season. That does not mean the run is permanently closed.

    “Like any area on the mountain, Ski Patrol can close the terrain when conditions are not conducive to skiing or riding.

    These must be Intermittent ski trails.

    Most of the places I ski don’t have posted trail names anyway.

    It's Vail. They probably have a huge mogul warehouse. If they just stack them a little tighter, they can probably fit a trail or 2.
    No longer stuck.

    Fake news. Clearly Vail removed all of the actual double black runs many years ago, and I don't mean from the map. I still crack up at the usage of double blacks in the first place.
