Every day, we highlight one of Okemo's 127 trails. Today's trail is* #### [Fast Lane](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/fast-lane) Fast Lane (not to be confused with [Fast Track](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/fast-track)) is for those of us confident in our skills or those who just don't care what other people think. As you navigate this ungroomed trail, often laden with moguls, you'll be observed by the passengers of the [Sunburst Six](https://www.okemozone.com/lifts/sunburst-six), directly overhead. If you take a decent spill, you may be able to hear their gasps and consolations from above. Despite all that, it can be a fun ride, even though the adjacent trails of [Nor'easter](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/noreaster) and [Upper Chief](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/upper-chief) are certainly "fast"er and easier routes down the mountain. There are bail-out spots on [Upper Chief](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/upper-chief) or you can continue your showboating almost to the top of [Lower Chief](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/lower-chief).
