Bear Pond Slide
One of the most remote slides in the White Mountains by mileage alone, but also one of the hardest to approach. With thick vegetation above, it’s likely best approached by skinning up from below, or by skiing into Redrock and cutting over. Either way. Follow the drainage through moderate bushwacking to the the base of Bear Pond. A short but very thick bushwack gains the base of the slide. From here you can skin most of the way but you will likely want crampons for the top half of the line.
The upper section is usually scoured down to rocks, but a few sheltered spots allow for passage. Weave your way through rock ledges and a few small ice bulges to a much more open lower gully. Enjoy excellent turns and even better views in one of the most remote areas in the Whites. Shwack back to your skin track and ski back the way you approached.
