I just read an article on Boston.com that talked about upgrades throughout New England resorts. It says that Sugarbush among other things has cut two new glades over at Mount Ellen?
Where are they?
What are they called?
Are they on the new trail maps?
With all the work done this summer for the mountain biking trails, the tree skiing should be great at LP. The crews cleaned a lot of underbrush, fallen branches and such, so that the woods look clean(er) and ready for great skiing. Sure the bike trails don't follow ski descents, but the fact that a lot of debris has been moved and water flows controlled, I think, is a big bonus. Winter storms tend to drop a lot of branches which can catch ski tips, boots, bindings all of which can ruin your day fast.
Think snow! Lots and lots of snow! 317" of it!!!
