GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I like Two Tickets to Paradise as an homage to the late Eddie Money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than leaving money on the table is leaving trails on the mountain. If I know Blue, this will be split up into upper and lower in a few years. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe call it "Not Plunge". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benm Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 You know that prob half the submissions earlier suggested keeping it as coming soon. And they ignored it. For awful names at that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFskiDan Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 exciting that a new trail will be opened up at Blue, with possibly one of the lamest fucking names for a trail ever. Plunge/freefall? like there is some crazy steep on this trail? no. Ray of sunshine? its never sunny at Blue. Those names all suck. They should go back to the drawing board with them. That trail should have this marker - Blue square with this symbol in it, for whats gonna happen at the intersection of Paradise. 4 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Plunge and free fall are as generic as it gets. Terrible. Two tickets is Terrible too "hey guys....I'm heading over to two tickets". Wtf. I voted for big dipper because I like astronomy. Not crazy about that for trail name but is the best of the bunch I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 As soon as there's a connector/bypass around that steep bit, I bet it does get split from Two Tickets to Upper Ticket and Lower Ticket. For all the tiny trails at Blue, at least there aren't upper/lower pairs that can't have one part open without the other (IE Lower Main St can open without Upper, Nightmare doesn't have to be open to ski Dreamweaver, etc.). Shockingly, lower Lazy Mile could be a separate trail and isn't. Personally, I'm in favour of Valhalla for "Paradise for badasses" but they obviously aren't taking suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switchback is Upper and Lower and you can't ski one without the other. I don't even know where Upper ends and Lower begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an Upper/Lower Sidewinder, most call Lower Sidewinder the S-Turns. Also, there is an old connector that's mostly blocked by planted trees and a snowgun where you used to go from Xing across Main Street and over to what would be Lower Switchback - it also carries over via a cat track to Lazy Mile. That's one reason Xing is where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they went back to just "Switchback" some time ago. I think I remember seeing Upper and Lower on a snow report in the more recent past.
