-Not Quite Corn/Snowbird
-Steeper than Hell/Snowbird
-Great Scott/Snowbird
-Carbonation (a mogul run)/Snowbird

-Where's Joe?!/Whistler-Blackcomb
-100 Turns/The Canyons
-Know You Don't!/Deer Valley

That's all off the top of my head... some ski run names crack me up.

Kangourou/Sutton
BouBou/Sutton

You're using too many turns at the Canyons.

Dick's Ditch/Jackson Hole

The name drove me to ski it and it is one of my top 3 trails.

Lies and rumors at gore
Quacky and paradise at MRG

Here's a combination for ya

Temptation & Climax, Park City UT

Omigosh - Cataloochee, NC I think.

Glory Hole- Big Mtn. MT (and elsewhere)

Anyone ever thought up names for ski runs? I've always liked "Wailing Wall" and "Quitcherbitchin" for a couple of expert runs. That and with my "Ski Buckhorn" (aka Moonshine Mountain) campaign, Buckhorn just provides endless opportunities for puns. "Buck up," "Buck this," "Buck and run," "Buck buck," etc.

Yeah, Park City has a Gloryhole trail as well.

It's been a while, but I believe Breck has run called Pscyho.

As Mack surely knows Bassackwards takes on add'l fun meaning because founder of Snowbird is Dick Bass.

Some trail names just sound cool in the abstract like Organgrinder at Sugarbush, but others are cool when you get to personally find out how well they match the terrain of the trail.

-I always thought Extrovert at Blue Knob was a pretty classy name for a tough trail that can be closely observed by riders on two lifts directly above.
-Eye Opener at Wisp is aptly named for its great view of pretty lake/mtn landscape. The first photo in this link of two kids shows that view, which was really great that particular day with ice on trees but packed powder on trails.

-Rebel Yell at Massanutten is perfect for a popular run at a Virginia ski area not far from a number of historic civil war locales. I can picture in my mind numerous under qualified southern ski novices screaming bloody murder the first time their friends dragged them down this one which is kinda steep for the first few hundred yards.
-Cascade at Killington tells you a thing or two about the run without ever seeing it.

Here's a fun epic thread on ski areas with trail name themes which can range from fun to tacky to bizarre: http://forums.epicski.com/showthread.php?t=25778&highlight=trail+themes

Thanks for the post Jim. I had forgotten about Mary's Nipple at Grand Targhee. But of course, just over the pass there are the Hobacks at JH, named for exactly what you think they're named. Jackson Hole also has Bird-n-the-Hand.

Dithdigger Glade- Blue Knob, right?

Squaw Valley- KT22, named for the 22 kick-turns it required the first skier to get down it.

Mammoth has some good names- Murphy should be able to enlighten us about a few of those.

At Mission Ridge Washington there's the innocuous-sounding Bomber Run. But it's named for a bomber that crashed into the side of the mountain during a training mission in 1944. The trail goes right by the wreck; very cool.

Cloudspin at Whiteface.

Here-Be-Dragons at Solitude.

This is an awesome brainstorming thread!

I always liked "Dark side of the Moon" - CV

Not a real technical trail, but nice name..

Huevos Grande at Mammoth looked appropriately named. Paranoid Flats is another. They scared me from 3,000 feet below .
