Anyone ever do the trees at Attitash? It's been a million years since I skied there last. Looking at the Trail Map and photos, their on map glades seem to be pretty wide open. Opinions?

There are a few that aren't bad, over on the right-hand side of Bear Peak. Some pretty easy ones to get you accumulated underneath Kachina. When they get snow, those are fun.

I was there over Christmas. The Kuchina(sp) Triple chair (aka painfully slow chair) goes right over two or three of the glades on Bear Peak. But the snow in the trees was very thin and they were absolutely closed. The glad to the left of the chair (other side of Trillium) looked nice and step. The Porcupine glade (next to the two greens Moonbeam and Reckoning) just looked messy. Then again, plop 12 to 18 inches on top of that mess and it may be fine.
Good luck!!!

Some are pretty fun, they did see a lot of damage in the Ice storm many years ago and never fully recovered... or so people say...

just skied 'em a few weeks ago and may ski them Saturday....
All of the glades are on Bear Peak. Broken Arrow is decent. This is off the summit quad. It's fairly wide open, decent pitch. I heard somewhere there are some lines deep in the woods, past where it appears the glade ends. The rest of the glades are all over off the triple or Abenaki Quad. Barksville is a joke. It should be a blue learning glade. Lumberyard isn't bad. Wildwood isn't so much a glade as it is a couple of trees to the side of the trail. Porcupine is fairly tight, but short. It has an interesting fall line, though. Fever Trees isn't bad, and I've never done Jacob's Ladder. JL is the newest glade, and it filters on to what is pretty much a cross-country ski trail.
If the snow is good, my recommendation would be to run laps Fever Trees to Lumberyard. Get to Fever Trees from either Abenaki or the summit quad. Fever Trees is accessed from Upper Kachina. When you see the mid-station, cut left and head to Lumberyard.
