I think the slides are some of the best classic NE skiing (narrow/gnarly/steep etc.)

At least from the pics... Never done them.

Here are my shots form the Slides on April 20. Perhaps a few give a better sense of the steepness.

Slide 1 probably is the least steep, but tricky in the ice falls. Slide 2 is pretty tame, unless you traverse left as you go down. In between Slide 2 and 3, and on Slide 3, you hit some pretty steep stuff. Much steeper than Slide 1.

awesome pics skidds! thanks for sharing. i think the steepness is much more apparent by taking pictures down, rather than up.

They're really nice. How often are they like that? I guess April is a pretty good month to go, sorta like Tucks?

I know pictures are decieving but they don't seem that steep, just very sweet indeed! What's with the dude in the orange winter coat?? It was 65 degrees that day, lol.
