Longest Glade and Steepest Glade in the East

[SIKSKIER]

Kinsman Glade (or DJs Tramline which Cannon technically has labeled as a glade due to its first short treed pitch) is the steepest and longest on map glade in New England. Steepest within boundary? Yea right, like I am going to answer that one. There are steeper and longer within boundary for sure but I ain't saying where.

Sorry Steve,but DJ's Tramline is the tramline.Kinsman Glade runs south of the drainage towards the Old Man.Look at their trailmap and you will see it clearly marked.

Guys, cut me some slack. I know what the Tramline is and I know that 75 vertical feet of tree skiing does not make it a glade. I was just saying that is what Cannon labels it because of the initial tree section. Lame. It lets Cannon say "100% of trails open" far more often than if they included it as a non-gladed trail, so I understand the marketing perspective.

I agreed with you after looking at the trail report section.
You did not answer my question, though.

Tram @ Cannon: 2,021 vertical feet, 5,349 feet in length
Burnt Ridge Quad @ Gore: 1,437 vertical feet, 6,096 feet in length

Kinsman Starts approximately 1/4 of the way down the mountain (I estimate around 1500' vert and 4,100 in length for Kinsman). Cirque Glades @ Gore start pretty much at the top of the BRQ (maybe 300' down horizontal, 50' vertical) and this year, extend all the way to the base of the Mountain. Gore might have a point in calling it the longest Glade in the East . . . .
