It has to be the highest honor in skiing, to have a run named after you.   For folks with fame and cash, the honor can simply be purchased.  Per the Governator's 54th birthday, Maria Shriver wrote a fat check to Sun Valley, and voila!  Arnold's run, a black diamond trail that demands to be told, "I'll be back."

Lindsey Vonn just got hers, and it got us to thinkin', what runs have been named for Winter Olympians, and of those, which are the best?  Eschewing honor begat by privilege (i.e. Arnold's), The Ski Channel presents the Top 10 Ski Trails Named for Winter Olympians.   You can't ski like these American heros, but you can ski on them.  Might want to dull your edges.
