A classic White Mountains slide. This beautiful line is visible from town in Twin Mountain. It captures the skiers mind from afar, beckoning you to go ski it. The approach is long, but goes faster than you’d expect, and is fairly straight so long as you don’t get lost. Park at Seven Dwarfs Inn and be sure to follow parking payments instructions. Do not park illegally on Little River Road. This has been the subject of access issues in the past. Walk to the end of the road and pick up a herb path, this is not well marked but is often tracked out of snowshoers accessing the 4000 footers in winter. After about a mile you meat Haystack Road, take a right then turn left onto an unmarked forest road. Follow this gently uphill until you reach the drainage for North Twin Slide. Don’t skin the creek, make your way into the bushes to skiers left and skin easily through conifer woods trending roughly alongside the creek. Eventually the terrain will funnel you towards the base of the slide, skin the low angle drainage and pass a spot where moose antlers are secured to a tree, indicating you’ve found the slide. Easy skinning leads to a fork. The left option is steeper and more narrow, fanning out to some ice bulges at the top. The right option is lower angle and wider. Offering excellent pow turn. Either way. Skin as far as you feel comfortable and switch to bootpacking when necessary. The sheltered location of this line and cold, north facing aspect, make this a good spot to find powder when that would be unreasonable anywhere else. However,, both slides are considered avalanche terrain and present significant terrain traps. Keep your head on a swivel and be aware that you are a long way from help in the event of an accident.
