Skiing under the tram was probably the most challenging run I've made on a New England mountain.

Try kinsman sometime. There is a small opening off Vista Way before the Tram line. Steep, twisty, stumpy, with fallen trees, and everything else they can throw at you. Don't go to far skiers left or you'll end up in the brook that follows the trail! Hardest glade trail I've ever done. I haven't skid Tram line yet. You really need the perfect conditions to see me on that trail. Nasty!

Yup, I've done the Kinsman glade about three years ago. Need good snow cover. As I recall the top part is tight, and then it opens up. Last season I skied a newer glade on the other side of the mountain that's off either Sky Line or Upper Ravine and exits on the ski out heading back to the Cannonball Express chair. Once is enough for me - it's tight from beginning to finish. In retrospect, I'm editing this, because "skied" isn't the right word; "slid" might be more appropriate.
