About This Trail

Imported description

You can ski down the 4,000' peaks on a ridge above the Sugarbush Ski Resort. If you bring a pair of skis with you on the ridge climb, it will be a fun descent. You will get Abraham and Ellen once you climb up the ski slopes. You will reach the top of Lincoln Peak first if you climb above the highest chairlift. You will follow the ridge south to the bare summit of Abraham, then back north to the wooded summit of Ellen. You will end up at the wrong resort if you go down these trails. Take your steps back along the ridge where you intersect the Sugarbush trails. Pick a trail and head on down for a fun descent.
