That's not surprising about the alleged quality of the tree skiing up that way. IIRC, it's mostly hardwoods until you get to the top 200-300 verts or so, but that could be off. If that's the case, then I'd venture to say that the old liftline probably has the worst skiing up in that area. A buddy of mine skied the line in the epic year of 2000-2001 and said it was so grown in that he had to hike back up and out. Total and complete lockdown - Alcatraz style. Mind you, the snow was so deep at Sugarbush that year that I know people where skiing ON TOP of the younger pine trees to skier's left of the top of Sunrise. Those trees are 15 feet tall these days.
In short, I doubt it's worth your time. Lines to the left and right of that cut, however, are a different story altogether.[/quote]
yah, I know it isn't all that worth it, but it would be fun just to find it and navigate down thru. My goal was to bushwack from MRG across the ridge along the Long Trail, then pop onto the lift cut and ski down to the bush. Of corse this won't happen if the brush is too thick. oh well!
