Question about Brackett Basin

Is there really 2300 feet of glades accessible from the top to the bottom of Brackett Basin? When I looked at a trail map, it seems that you can only go a very little way down the trail until the only run out option left is Lower Stub's. Not only does this trail look incredibly slow and flat but it looks as though it dead ends at some houses rather than making its way out to Snubber. I haven't skiied Sugarloaf so I'm just wondering, is it possible to ski Brackett Basin onto Lower Stub's and back to the Snubber lift without taking off your skis? Or do you have to walk through some condo parking lot to get back to the ski lift?

If you go all the way down it's a bit of work to get back to the Snubber lift, and depending on the snow you will have to walk some. We didn't ski all the way down, it was easy to jump out at the bottom of King Pine and the terrain below didn't seem worth it.
