About This Trail

Imported description

If you time it right, this is a fun spring ski descent. Don't wear your skis at the top of the lift, climb up the ski slopes and ditch them in the woods. If you want to get to A and D, you'll have to go across the ridge. Washington and the Presidential Range are a great place to ski. It can be done in a half day.
