Section 12: Tin Shanty to Route 4
Snapshot:
This section initially follows a moderately used snowmobile route over Robinson Hill and around Mendon Peak to Brewers Corner, and then continues as a remote backcountry ski through the Rutland City Forest. It is mostly at an elevation of 2000' feet or more so good early/late snow is often available.
Length: 13.6 miles
Difficulty:
Although steep in places, the trail from Tin Shanty to Brewers Corner is usually groomed and only moderately difficult. From Brewers Corner to Rte. 4 the trail is ungroomed, often unbroken, and is very challenging with some steep downhill stretches, which can be very difficult under some snow conditions.
