Xmas tree bowl
Approach:
Roaring Ridge approach. Start at the ski lift - skin past the lift and up to the Nordic Track - continue for a mile or so and past the bridge - look for Blue trail blaze on the left (start of approach). Follow road track up the ridge. Will pass through thick trees. Late on, the crux (forked tree) is not a necessary path which is a left turn up hill - it can be circumvented by continuing forward and around using the same path.
Descent:
You will see XMas Tree Bowl on the approach. For safest slope angle stay within the skier's middle/left the bowl. WATCH for the tree wells. Can descend and have a look out at the first shelf
