Bee lined up the Black Chair lift line (the chairlift on the right when looking up the mountain). Some soggy areas and a few easily avoided patches of snow down low. Lift line gets fairly rugged higher up with some ledge scrambles. From the top of that lift, head just a few dozen feet to the west, then you'll pick up the tower access road that leads to the high point. Did not find a recognized high point, but pretty sure it's a tree just above the second communications tower. No views up here, but some very nice views if you walk down toward the Red Chair (up to Killington, over to Ascutney).
Descended the work road, which winds its way up the upper east side ski trails. Very rough walking, as it's large stone. Much better walking on the ski trails, especially right now with the grass still very short. |
