The glades were nice compared to Sugarloaf, where you eat alot of treebark on the way down (at least I do :wink: )

I did not ski the steepest glades at Bretton Woods as the cover was too thin, but they looked somewhat challenging to me. The rest of the place is boring.

I love sugarloafs glades, probably my favorate thing about the place. They actually some really spaced out easy glades like kickback. The stuff off the spillway is also really spaced out but steep

They probably sell food in the lodge. I'd imagine (assuming you're not a beaver) that stuff might taste a bit better.

The glades I skied at Snow last year later in the season (late Feb, early March?) were fun and very tight. Not too steep, but they def. didn't do a lot of cutting in there. Lot of hemlocks, lot of rocks, low branches, sapplings.... you name it, it was in there.

There were some glades at Loon I skied, upper part of the mountain that were total opposite... all birches spaced 15-20 feet apart. Not nearly as fun.

I wish Snow got more... well... snow.

No, I am not a beaver, though I do enjoy having some around :wink:, but thanks for the advice. Some of the glades are not spaced very far apart at all like Rookie River, and the glades around Lombard X-Cut.

I dont think that rookie river is that tight, just the problem is that your skiing in a river bed, and theres always rocks, trees down and blue ice. The section above lombard X-cut and right off the x-cut are kinda scary though
