Lift Served Tree Skiing at Sunday River

Any suggestions? I have never been there will be heading up this weekend. Looking primarily for low angel stuff like Eden, Sleeper and Semi-Tough woods at Sugarbush.

Blind ambition and last tango are both pretty mellow.

I am not familiar with the glades at Sugarbush but Warren likes to ski Enchanted forest which is a short blue glade under and left of you as you ride up the Perfect Turn Express to North Peak.

A fairly gentle and wide opened glade is Blind Ambition in Jordan Bowl, it's kid friendly and not too steep. Last Tango between Barker and Spruce Peak is a bit steeper and becomes very narrow torwards the bottom of the ravine it is located in, but you can bail out further up to avoid this.

All of these glades had plenty o' snow two weeks ago and should be absolutely buried at this point.

I think the easiest marked glade is Blind Ambition (Jordan). I would put Last Tango (Barker) second.

There's also a semi-gladed area called Enchanted Forest on North Peak. It's probably even easier than Blind Ambition.

Thanks for the info. I'll check them out.

Wizards Gulch qualifies as 'low angle' in my book as well.

Where is Wizards Glutch?

Where is Wizards Glutch?

Wizard's Gulch is off of Rogue Angel in Jordan Bowl. I am not sure that I would call that "low angle" it's a bit narrow and steep in one or two spots.

My son's favorite is Flying Monkey and I am sure I will be skiing it many times in the near future.

Celestial Glades are quite good too -- moderate pitch and good spacing on the trees. The middle of the glade actually opens up quite nicely. I think there's more space in there than in Blind Ambition. To get there, get on the Aurora quad, go down Airglow then bang a right at the crosstrail. Celestial are the woods on the left.

The most challenging woods (on map) at SR have to be Chutzpah and Hardball. They're on the left and right of White Nitro.

Blind Ambition and Last Tango are both fun. Wizards Gulch is a notch up. It looks intimidating but is tame-able. Just pick your lines and don't pick up too much speed.

White Heat. Either way, those glades - Chutzpah and Hard Ball - are tough. I still can;t figure out exactly where you're supposed to go. They are TIGHT.....

I would suggest Blind Ambition (pretty easy, but head in as high above the entrance sign as you can for a few extra tight turns), Last Tango and Celestial. For a challenge between Celestial and Hard Ball/Chutzpah, try Flying Monkey.

Good catch, kickstand. I guess I'm missing the Loaf too much!
