Description

The skin track follows the Slippery Brook Trail to alpine faces on Baldface Knob. The upper sections are steep and transition to mellower grades partway down. Skiers who want to avoid the open alpine area can traverse to the glades at 2,400'.

Please note that there can be a significant risk of avalanche in this area. See the alerts tab for more details.

Trail Tips

Dispose of Waste Properly
