Thanks for the ...Just saw that you replied to this. Thanks for the info on Kinsman, I'll have to get up there and check it out. The crossings to Downes brook were filled in great. When the slide split I took the climbers left hand side, and there was some fun steeper sections up that way. <br /><br />My favorite slide to ski so far has been the North Tri slide, I've been up there a couple of times. I saw a couple snowshoeing up it one of the times, so that might be a fun trip if you haven't done it yet. Definitely steeper though.

Thanks for your comments! You're c...Hi Andrew,<br /><br />Thanks for your comments! You're correct, the Zem Zem and Toy glades are a little farther east. I access them from the upper pulloff on the south side of 112. Not sure if it's being plowed this winter. The brook that comes down to that pulloff has a neat ledgy waterslide at about 2100-2200 ft. that might be skiable with all the snow.<br /><br />A local guy was in here recently who has skied the Osceola Dogleg Slide and one of the East Osceola slides the last couple of weeks. I was thinking of heading in to the Downes Brook Slide soon for some snowshoeing. Those lower ledges are so expansive. Gets pretty constricted heading up to the "turn of the slide." Sounds like the crossings on Downes Brook are bridged pretty well? Happy exploring,<br />Steve <br /><br />Steve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-46740227311504751372019-02-27T09:48:40.730-05:002019-02-27T09:48:40.730-05:00Hi Steve, I just stumbled across your site. All of...Hi Steve, I just stumbled across your site. All of these trip reports are great. I've been skiing a bit in Kinsman notch this year, and have found some nice glades (some marked with signs and some not). I was wondering if you would be willing to share some info on where the 'Toy' and 'Zem-Zem' glades are? I've been parking at the Beaver Brook trailhead and heading out from there, but from the pictures these glades look a bit further East and maybe easier accessed parking off a pullout on 112?<br /><br />Also love all the trip reports on the slides, I've really gotten into skiing slides this year. I've skied a few that you have trip reports on, and you've got trip reports for a few I have my eyes on (haven't been on any of the Osceola slides yet). Just did Downes Brooke this past weekend, not the best I've skied but it had some really fun sections.<br /><br />Thanks, AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04507927735186799052noreply@blogger.com
