ODDY EHRLENBACH knows these woods better than anyone. The assistant ski patrol director at Sugarloaf is overseeing
the cutting and design of Brackett Basin and the Burnt Mountain glade expansion project which, since 2010, has added more
than 500 acres of new backcountry terrain to make Sugarloaf
the largest ski area east of the Rocky Mountains.
During the summers and falls, Ehrlenbach leads teams equipped with
chainsaws to maintain existing glades and to clear new paths in previously
untouched terrain. In the winters, he works to educate guests about exploring this vast new backcountry skiing safely and responsibly. And when called
upon, he’ll hike in to pull people out.
The newest glade in Brackett Basin, a 300-foot-wide swath covering 10plus acres to the east of Slasher and Slasher 2, features steeps with cliffs, rock
drops and other natural features. Accessing Sugarloaf’s backcountry requires
an hour to an hour-and-a-half hike from the Golden Road in Brackett Basin.
The clearing runs down the fall line east of the existing Sweeper Glade. Skiers and riders will then be filtered back into lower Brackett Basin, toward the

Sweeper Bridge and the bottom of the King Pine chairlift.
Interest in tree skiing has exploded across New England in the past decade, and while many resorts have embraced this movement by dropping
ropes to new terrain and revamping their off-piste policies, the fact remains
that tree skiing is wrought with dangers and shouldn’t be taken lightly. And
with advances in alpine touring gear and equipment — including AT boots
and bindings — skiers and snowboarders now are able to venture much farther away from resort lift systems to access the goods. But just because you
can now get there from here, backcountry terrain might not be for everyone.
“We want it to be an adventure when people go in there, and personally I
think it’s great that I can check out areas and have no idea what to expect,”
said Ethan Austin, communications manager at Sugarloaf. “Brackett Basin
isn’t for everyone, and we try to make that abundantly clear through our signage and on our website. If you’re not looking for a bit of an adventure, you
probably shouldn’t be skiing in there.”
The increased numbers of backcountry enthusiasts is staggering. Sales

PRIMED FOR SPRING’S
By Brion O’Connor
E
VERY SKIER — from hardcore season-pass holder
to occasional weekend
dabbler — looks forward
to spring skiing. Who can
blame them? Spring not only ushers a
rebirth, but also can provide some of the
best conditions of the season.
“Spring skiing comes with a whole
new energy — warmer, sunny days, soft
bumps, all-around happy skiers enjoying
the end of the snow season to the fullest,”
said Keri Reid, assistant director for Okemo’s Ski + Ride School in Vermont and a
writer for the blog, “Wanderlust And Lipstick” (wanderlustandlipstick.com).
“It also brings out all the ‘fair weather’
sliders, some with rather colorful attire
and personalities to match. Suddenly, anything goes,” said Reid. “Out comes all the
retro gear and equipment hailing from a
range of different eras. Some days, shorts,
T-shirts — or no shirts — and even bikinis
become the dress code. It’s just plain fun.”
Of course, it’s always fun until some-

March brings abundant sunshine, but plenty
of challenges. Dress smart, ski strategically
to maximize fun this New England spring
body biffs. One of my most vivid spring skiing memories of recent vintage dates back
about six years, when my wife and daughters and I were having a great March outing
at Mount Cranmore in North Conway, N.H.
It was the quintessential spring session,
with cloudless blue skies and great conditions from top to bottom at the start of the
day. But by late morning, the snow near the
bottom of the hill had softened up considerably. And daughter Maddi, who was 12 at
the time, wasn’t quite prepared for it.
After a good half-dozen runs, we decided to head to the lodge for lunch. On
the long flat run-in to the base, Maddi

turned to cheer us on. What she didn’t account for was the heavy, mashed potato
snow under her skis. Poor kid caught an
edge, and launched. Completely helicoptered. Ski poles, skis and gloves when everywhere. And Maddi went down. Hard.
Even with her helmet, Maddi suffered
a mild concussion, bringing a quick
close to what had been a great day on
the trails. The lesson, of course, is that
spring can bring conditions that are every bit as unpredictable as mid-winter.
According to Reid, spring skiing is a
“a mixed bag. You never know what the
day is going to throw at you.”
“The mornings usually start out cooler and firmer, with conditions morphing throughout the day,” she said. “The
mountain becomes a true challenge, testing your stance and balance skills. With
temperatures rising, skier traffic causes
natural moguls to form in places that may
typically be groomed. Bumps can be challenging even for the most advanced skiers and riders. They can be even more difficult as they set early and late in the day.”
Warmer temperatures also mean the
potential for rain. We all dream of bright

Have a hoot in Quebec’s
Eastern Townships
By Brion O’Connor
Q
UEBEC’S Eastern Townships are woven into the fabric of my DNA. I’m halfFrench Canadian, my maternal grandfather making his way to Manchester,
N.H., from Quebec City when he was
just a teenager. My mom, who grew up on Manchester’s French Canadian-dominated West Side, spoke
fluent French as a result.
Even after she met my father and settled down in
New Jersey, Mom made sure she kept close ties to
her extended family north of the border. She also was
able to convince Dad to bundle up the burgeoning
O’Connor clan (five kids!) in the family wagon and
make the long, long haul from northern New Jersey
to Quebec’s Eastern Townships and Ski Mont Echo.
Tourisme Québec; Émilie Hébert-Larue/Owl’s Head (inset)
Unfortunately, Ski Mont Echo now has been relegated to the dustbin of lost ski areas, as have so
many of my memories, almost 50 years ago. I don’t
remember details as much as feelings, skiing with
my siblings, enjoying Echo’s deep powder, and the
rollicking good times my parents and friends would
share at the Mont Echo Lodge. Today, Owl’s Head
near Sherbrooke, just north of Vermont’s Northeast
Kingdom, fills that gap.
This superb ski hill has a history dating back as
far as my own ski memories. The name is even older.
There’s a lively debate whether the mountain was
named because it resembled an actual owl’s head, or
was named after a legendary chief of the indigenous
Abenaki tribe. According to local folklore, the latter
maintains that the hill’s outline resembles the great
Chief Owl’s profile in repose.
On Dec.
18, 1965, an
electrician from
nearby Mansonville named Fred Korman, together with his wife, Lillian, and daughter Carrol, unveiled Owl’s Head ski area with three lifts — two
chairlifts and a T-bar — and six trails carved out by
locals on the western shores of Lake Memphremagog.
Olympic ski racer Bob Richardson oversaw the construction of the trail network, but no one had to create
the spectacular views that literally roll away from the
hill (Lilly’s Leap, presumably named after Lillian Korman, is quite possibly the most panoramic ski trail in
eastern North America). Keeping with the rich heritage of the region, the Kormans decided to keep the
native Abenaki name of Owl’s Head, out of respect for
