Prerequisites
Ability to ski steep and narrow glades

Join us on a backcountry skiing adventure to some new glades on Baldface thanks to the Granite Backcountry Alliance. We will skin ~3.5 miles up the Slippery Brook Trail to the summit of Baldface Knob. The ~2500' decent will be through sections of steep and narrow glades so the ability to perform quick turns is a must.

More info about the trail can be found here.
