SUMMARY:Chittenden Brook Ski\, Chittenden
DESCRIPTION:This trip requires advanced backcountry skiing skills\, including the ability to make at least controlled snowplow turns. Climbing skins are not necessary. We must have two or more cars – leaving one at the Chittenden Brook pull-out on route 73 we’ll head to Brandon Gap and ski the relatively easy ascent south on the Long Trail to the Chittenden Brook Trail (2.3 mi.).

Once we reach the campground\, it’s an easy 2.5-mile ski out to route 73 on a logging road. Call for meeting place and time.
