A lot of walking for not a lot of skiing. Nevertheless, it’s a good adventure, and the people who like this kind of thing will likely enjoy it. This slide is mostly low angle, with only a small section at the very top being steeper than 30 degrees, making it an excellent option if you’re looking for a slide tour that’s feasible on a day with elevated avalanche danger. Skin the Hancock Notch Trail to the Cedar Brook Trail and continue along as it kicks up in angle. Reach the height of land, rip skins, and ski down the Cedar Brook Trail, which is for the most part easy to follow in winter. The drainage of Cedar Brook Slide is not obvious, so checking the map frequently will be helpful. Break right from the trail a skin through moderate bushwhacking terrain. It doesn’t make great skiing on the way out, but it’s not a thrash. After a few hundred feet you’ll find a logical place to re-enter the drainage and reach the toe of the slide. Most or all of the slide can be ascended on skins. The slide has some interesting halfpipe like feathers and boulders you’ll need to get around. Despite looking gravely on maps, this slide needs a good amount of snow cover to ski well. While avalanche terrain is less of a concern here, be aware that this slide is very remote, and a small injury could leaf to a nightmare rescue scenario. From the tote of the slide, reverse your approach back to the Kanc for the exit.
