With another successful ILL gladding season at a close, we bring you an update. The crew of Corrie Wright, Steve Klopezig and Ryan Merrill, have manicured more than 350 acres of prime ILL fall line terrain, creating even more skiable habitat. Work was done on a variety of aspects and areas, giving us more skiing options on any given ski day. The Geisha South area formally known as “Lost in the trees”, now hosts many spectacular new lines of gladded trees. Skiing out of runs like Benches and Roller Coaster will never be the same. On the other side of Geisha Bowl, Valentines has some fine new open country, built for speed. Moving over to Face Shot Right, which used to resemble more of an over crowded Christmas tree farm, now boasts perfectly spaced trees. A significant effort was put into the backside of Lizard Pass a powder paradise with a lot more flow. Big Woody, off the West side of Baldly West has always been a favorite for its ubber good, consist - 35 degree fall line pitch. It now features classic ILL lanes and glades, I think this is going to make some people very happy. Imagine it with Powder! Sunny side on Baldy has seen a whole lot of improvements, and the Swiss Ridge Spooky zone is going to be frightfully good. Last but not least Mt. Fernie, all the front side runs have had an over hall and the back side Teli Fun is a couple of groups wider. Its like Agusta back there! As per usual the crew spent there days working on the side hill motivated by thoughts of catskiing down these soon to be powder filled glades with some very happy people.
Yours - the Gladding crew
