According to many, mogul skiing is the true test of ability on the mountain. Anyone can ski powder, anyone can make it down a groomer, but throw some moguls in the way and you’ll see who can really shred. You’re welcome to disagree if you so desire. We asked our Facebook followers about the best mogul runs they’ve ever skied and hundreds of people responded. From Heavenly’s brutal Gunbarrel to Killington’s legendary Outer Limits, here’s a rundown of the top mogul runs mentioned.

Honorable Mentions
Many resorts and many trails were mentioned throughout the comments, some of which just barely missed the top 6. Bubblecuffer at Sugarloaf in Maine was mentioned on multiple occasions, while the Swiss Wall at Verbier in Switzerland was given quite some praise.
Of course crowning one trail as the best mogul run would be near impossible, as snow conditions and skier skills can all impact the experience. At the end of the day, the best mogul run is the one you’re on.
