Nice avitar HL. When the govner decided he was gonna sign all the woods shots, alot of local folks weren't stoked. Then when he originally misspelled Angel Food as Angle Food and hung the sign, we were all amused. Took him a while to get the new sign up..Haven't skied that glade all season....

I think it's a depth thing. I imagine there is cutting that goes on in there every year, but I would imagine the pucker brush in the main line is trimmed by spring skiers skiing the firm snowpack when it's thin. The line up on the ridge has seen work lately...dumps in as you hit the traverse back, look up and right. Some other stuff near the food that have been trimmed up, but hopefully there's not alot of live tree removal in there these days. So impacted allready, and plenty open for sure.

actually food itself is a pretty mellow area. its steep at the start then mellows out. the ridges on either side have a more consistant pitch to them.
ya i saw that when i missed the traverse back and just kept going. was talking to a guy on the gondi he said they are calling that area oz now. atctually the line on the ridge right after food seemed to be in good shape. everything above the traverse in looked normal just food looked over pruned. just didnt remember it being that open last year and i was back there when we up in the canopies in mid march. if that is really from skiier traffic they should block the main traverse so it will cut down on the amount of gomers going out there. i mean we have to problem thwackin to get where we are going but it would keep like 75% of the traffic down.

I only skied Angel Food a few times in college..I mainly went farther out or closer to the resort..anyway I'll likely ski up at Stowe next month..there's this nice Boulder drop out in the notch that I'd love to session..and hit at different angles..I hope I can still remember where it is..

I love the gully below and left of the food. Burley, but awesome when it fills in. I skied that day after the Vday storm...pretty much a straight line with one tele roll after the ice flow. Then broke trail for an hour to get back to the resort. Crazy day.

ya the one twoards the bottom where you have to make the choice between the traverse back and keep going. i could see that just being death on vday. i did it last time i was up there on there wasnt enought snow to stop me dead. plus there where a few tracks i could follow but for sure its really fun.
