Section 24: Edson Hill to Farm Resort
Snapshot:
This section includes groomed ski center trails, ungroomed, backcountry terrain, snowmobile trails, open farm fields and a golf course. It gently loses elevation as it proceeds north. A side trail connects to Beaver Meadow and Burling Camp. Wonderful farm fields, beautiful hardwood forests, and some gorgeous mountain views highlight this section.
Length: 12.2 miles
Difficulty:
The section contains moderate hills, requiring minimal technical skiing ability. It is a great intermediate level section that allows skiers to experience ungroomed skiing without too much challenge. Small stream crossings and some uphill climbs will require sidestepping and herringbone. Several road crossings allow this section to be broken into shorter tours.
