The "Sugarbush Thread"

So to be accurate, Wood lot, ruffed up , wild turkey and Big Birch are mountain bike trails in the summer. They put them on the winter maps as glades to boost the count. most of those areas are pretty flat but skiable. You see the little kids in there a lot skiing the bike trails with the berms in a big line up.

This is good context that I didn't have before. I don't love those glades because I feel like I'm on a bobsled run. Similar pitch but much different feel than Eden or Semi-Tough. Now I know why.

they also arent very skiable/cleared off the bike routes. maybe with a lot of snow. but its basically single track and in my experience not super enjoyable.

Kids of a certain age and/or ability level love those kinds of glades. A friend of mine has kids in the program there; one day last season the daughter says dad I gotta show you this really cool line we skied yesterday. We watch her turn in and just started laughing. I did enjoy those trails... on the bike Edit. It was still fun thanks to the kids' exuberance

I love that the kids enjoy it (and you could too). Everytime I ski Domino (one of my favorite trails at LP) or Heaven's Gate Traverse, I see people in there. I've gone in a few times, but each time I find myself stuck in the luge track snow plowing or making super tight turns to dump speed. I never seem to find proper fall line. It's good to now understand why that is and that I'm not the only one who feels that way.

I enjoy any new tree runs- but those few do funnel one pretty easily.
