Blue Glades?

[bdfreetuna]

Bromley has a fair amount of blue or easier black glades.

I'm all for low angle glades.. more fun than regular low angle trails at least!

Then you're missing some of the better introductory glade spots Jay has to offer, via the Metro Quad like Riverc0il noted.

Take a right off Metro and you have the Moon Glades (Quarter, Half, and Full), which are the easiest glades at Jay, and are precisely where I will be introducing my girlfriend to glades skiing this winter. About as low-angle as humanly possible, very "safe" wide spacing, some tighter too obviously to practice on etc... It doesn't get much easier than this.

Take a left off Metro and you have Bushwacker Glades which, while easy, are fun regardless of who you are! The great thing about Bushwacker is there are very easy lines, as well as a few decently steep pitches for the learner to practice on if they feel capable. Even better, the steep bits are totally avoidable if you dont want to try them. There's a few spots where it gets decently thick, again, IF you want to go there, and importantly you dont have to. There is a stream bed and a bit of a gully if you go too far left, but these are great IMO for a "teachable moment" that you NEVER know what lurks in the woods so always pay attention and be careful etc..

The fact both of these are easily lapable for many repetitions from Metro is fantastic, and there's even a narrow trail cut through them if you're teaching someone, but another person in the party cant do glades but is skiing with you.

100% true in everything you said. These glades are so much fun even for me now. My son loves them because he says it's like riding a roller coaster. Lots of dips and and turns. And like you said they are widely spaced but if you want to test your skills a bit more, there are sections where it is a little tighter.
