Good call! The Goat Path is now incorporated into the Great Northern. It is a blue square, but it used to be a green circle. Though I never remembered it as a black diamond.

Killington is one of the areas. Now to find the right trail...

Yep, Goat Path and the traverse across glades and Snowdon was there since the first K Chair went in.

Ridge Run?

Let me give you a hint. https://skimap.org/data/211/7/1209849548.jpg
As for where else to look, just follow a storied career in the business from Killington to...

Roundabout shown in Killington map as green is now black, and Sunday River once had a Roundabout trail

Wow I gave it a good go on old maps and didn't go back anywhere near far enough. Roundabout must have not been a tree run back then, which warranted a green rating. Makes sense.

Where was SRs Roundabout?

There is both a Roundabout Trail and a Roundabout Glade today. Back in the 80s, it was only a trail, but as far as I know, it was always a Black Diamond,

Looks like Roundabout became Wanderer, with the actual trail staying green. Roundabout added as trail/glade between it and Pipe Dream.

I can't find old Roundabout at SR either...

xlr8r

Looking at old SR maps, Roundabout was a short trail at the top of Barker over near Lazy River and 3 Mile.

Snowmaster, that was some damn good trivia! Would not have come close to looking at Sunday River without the clue.

Snowmaster

We'll played, xlr8r. Challenge us! I'm not so sure about it becoming Wanderer. With grooming and the different trail cutting philosophy of the time, it might have been the same Roundabout we know today.

xlr8r

I'll do a similar question. What trail in new England that was once a blue is now a double black?

Snowmaster

Lower Flying Fox at Loon has been on some years' maps. Or are we looking for something NOT because it became a terrain park?

That only makes sense if there was a significant change in the trail. So it's either a glade or something that with large features became a terrain park. Is that a correct assumption?

xlr8r

not a glade and not a terrain park

and not a half-pipe?

xlr8r

not a half pipe

Spacewalk on Bear at K.

xlr8r

That is correct, but not the one I was thinking of. (stupid me I noticed spacewalk had that trait in researching answers to the previous question, but forgot)

Snowmaster

Aha. Paging Dr. Sam Beckett... Just grooming made for the change, I assume?
