Clay Beck is a great name for a run at Alpine. Very appropriate! Good Idea

Having a run named after Clay would be nice. I am a rider on the team and was very shocked when i heard about Clays accident. This would be a great name that everyone would appreciate and it is necessary to have a memory of Clay in a run at Alpine. He is missed greatly

Hi, I would like to submit a name for Blue Trail: Schusters Schuss, named for the infamous Werner Schuster! If you don’t know Werner you are not in the know!

Respectively submitted,

Greg Felsch

These don’t necessarily have to be matched:

Mosey Along – red
Powder Hound or Side Kick (like roundhouse kick) or Face Shots – green
The Cat’s Meow (groomed trail) – red/green trail
Zip Line or Fast Track or Summit Highway – blue

Well…it would be cool to name a run for Clay Beck, former director of the Alpine Meadows Freestyle Team. Clay passed this summer in a crash of his personal plane. Red-Green has been a nice mid-mountain park in recent years. Let’s name that Clay’s Run.

So as to not confuse your loyal skiers, why not keep the colors in the names…Blue Tahoe, Sky Blue, Blue Lake, Evergreen, Green Tree, Alpine Green, Redcross, Red Rose.

I would love to see Red trail named back to “Dance Floor”. I don’t think I could call that run by any other name…just ask my ski buddies. Whenever anyone says “take Red trail”, I say “you mean Dance Floor?”

My votes:
Red – Dance Floor
Blue – Jorg’s Turn, because of all the times I (and many others) have been down that run with Jorg Duetchke saying “Do x number of carved turns between here and there” (being usually some ridiculously short distance) only to watch him do it with speed and grace. He has taught many of us over his long career at AM how to be better skiers.
Green – Well, how about green

I agree “Dance Floor” should reappear. Blue can be Jorg’s Jaunt or Warner’s Way or Schuster’s Slope. Also Ski Patrol Alley would be great for Green
