Yes; a simple example is Norton's dome. It is possible to construct a frictionless curve such that a particle that is pushed up the curve with correct initial velocity will reach the top and halt in finite time. Observing a particle sitting at the top of the dome, there is no way to tell when it reached that point or from which direction.
