Berkshire East Jan 30th

[2sons]

First time back at Berkshire East in almost 2 years- sorry that I waited so long. Our first run was unknowingly on Tomahawk. I saw the trees and dove in, a little steeper than I liked and had wished we'd saved it for a later run. We rode the chair with a Snowboard Instructor who to took us into the woods off of Roundabout( Wilderness Peak Area?) and found stashes of untracked snow. My son loved it, his favorite run of the day. After we skied Blizzard Island a few times- not as hard as I remembered it. Bumps and trees pretty widely spaced, pretty low angled trail. After lunch we checked out the East Glades. The last time we were here it looked too steep, but this go round it was cake walk. I guess all the skiing has finally paid off.
The last run was Lift Line, pretty scratched up with rocks and icy spots to navigate, but fun to ski. My favorite run of the day.
Glad we went back and sorry it took us so long. I hope to make it back up there at least a couple more times this season.Think snow not wintry mix!

We've done a lot of work over the last few seasons in those glades. Glad you enjoyed them!

The wooded area off the right on Roundabout is that considered Wilderness Peak? Was there once a trail cut thru there?
Good job with your tree cutting skills!

This map shows most of the trails that were originally cut:



In addition, above lower Little Spruce (#43), there is an old road that was partially restored, but never completed.

On the back side of Wilderness Peak on Roundabout we ducked into the woods and halfway down there's a semi cleared trail that runs parallel to Roundabout. I think we did end up on Little Spruce so I guess you're right!
Is that an older trail map, cause I think it looks different?

That map was published prior to the incomplete Wilderness Peak trails being removed. The semi cleared thing on the backside is a woods road. Just beyond the hairpin on the Roundabout, there's a house, etc.
