I have poached what appears to be a logging road or old trail off of sidewinder. It goes from sidewinder to the main lift area through the woods. Though it lack snowmaking and is a little tight without much work at all it could become an excellent little trail. Other areass are what appears to be aa small glade on the left hand side just under the lift with a mid station. This area is very skiable right now, but is not official and I was yelled at once for hitting it. Also under the main lift up top are a couple roads or trails that with a little skating look very doable. My point is I can think of at least three areas that with little or no work could becaome viable terrrain or natuyral conditions terrain. Are there any plans to make this or other logging/ access roads trails new trails or to ease access rules.

I think he wanted it to be part of the challenge. Looks like a ski area question. Where is sidewinder?

I was thinking the same thing, the only Sidewinder I could find is at Okemo, but I don't see any lifts with a mid-station on the trail map...

For some reason I thought you may have been talking about Catamount, but for some reason I couldn't find Sidewinder on the trail map, of course there it is plain as day.. :roll: These seem like fair questions.
