Is it Nov 27th yet?

Holy moly I am so curious about how that'll turn out. I can't wait to dig in there.

Them's some tight woods, no natural lines for sure. They'll need to clean up the logs or else that is going to take a long time to open.

They definately didn't overcut that one! Looks similar to some of the other glades there which I personally like. Tight woods keep the snow in and masses out

They don't really look that tight to me, heck and I board and the tighter the tougher for me. What do you mean by Natural Lines?

I am curious as well whether they will remove the cut trees as well.......or do they leave them there for a particular reason? Other than the obvious that it's just to hard to remove them.

Looks pretty sick.

The cut areas are respectably spaced. Actually, more of a narrow swath than a true glade. Natural lines would be skiable tree lines that only needs or needed to be thinned out. I.E. without cutting trees down and using any tools other than scythe or loppers. Or completely naturally occurring which is pretty rare in most locales.

Gotcha

Is it really the largest glade in the Northeast......I remember hearing that Iceface had the largest glade and perhaps somewhere else...not that it really matters it is friggin huge.

Holy S#1%. These guys are serious. I'm suprised they cut up the logs. I'm no logger, but I would think it would be easier to skid them out and get some $ for them. Then again, that might not be a priority.

This is definitely on my must-do this winter.

Got Season Passes to Saddleback for my wife and I.....can't wait for Nov 27th!!!
Saddleback has some great mid mtn glades so this "high alpine" glade will be interesting

Mmmm...tasty. I see some sweet lines in there. Saddleback is on my hit list this year.
