Definitely a “ski if you can” trail. Very nice run; it looks like you were having fun. If a skier from out West should ever ask me what skiing is like in New England, I’m going to show them this video. I skied Paradise many years ago on a pair of 207 cm Rossignol 4SKs (as I said, many years ago). It was not fun. It would be great to try it again on a pair of 170-180s with a nicely shaped sidecut.

@@bobgliniecki8698 yeah among the reasons people weren't skiing glades and woods as much in the East before the mid to late 90s. I would not have had fun at 15 on my 195 straight skis...

the catwalk at the start makes me wonder: how far is too far to keep your skis on? in other words, what makes you decide to just pop out of the bindings and walk up? hehe

2:50 It's so funny that they prepared a stretcher next to the entrance of the trail as if someone is guaranteed to be "served" by it lol

Yeah honestly hopefully Saturday won't do too much damage. I'm looking at options for skiing with a buddy on Monday and Tuesday and I think we're going to have to recalibrate

Yeah, I did about 30 years ago, and it was Just Plain Woods. I just sorta picked my way down, not knowing which way to go. Its probably better if you do it several times in a row.

Same here, early 80s. One day at MRG. I am 5'5" and back then on 190cm Dynamic VR17s. With the short skis os today so much easier as long as there is not a lot of ice.

I don't know about hardest, but the scariest runs for me were Goat and Starr at their respective head walls. Starr because its is/was narrow, very icy, and scant of cover (at the head wall), Goat because it's the same head wall, narrower at points, and doesn't really care about he fall line in those places. Honestly, though, it's probably the conditions the particular experience for any of the steeps in northern Vermont that makes the difference. Starr probably shouldn't have been open when I skied it. But the long mogul run after the head wall was amazing! (and had good cover)

How does this compare to the slides at whiteface in terms of challenge?
@mybadvideos
10 ай бұрын
Haven't skiied the slides. Kind of apples and oranges, Paradise is an official trail that is frequently open and patrolled. The slides are rarely open and patrol has rules for who can go in and when depending on conditions. In a way, it would be fairer to compare the slides to a backcountry zone like Tuckerman Ravine. I suspect there are times that Paradise is open in sketchier conditions, when the slides would absolutely be closed. I think the slides are only open when patrol considers the conditions to be really good. I don't make it over to WF enough to have caught the slides open.

better comparison might the short-ish chutes at Jay Peak? fwiw, I could easily lap anything at MRG with glee (only made it there once in my life - it was amazing), but I would be hesitant to ski the Slides. then again, I was only interested in lift served, tree-defined, (mostly) mogul runs. and you couldn't pay me to ski "hike to" runs.

Wish i could go to MRG, but I'm a snowboarder who would make all those two plankers look bad.
