This isn’t a glade, so much as a sneaky way to navigate the mountain. Look for a drop in to skiers right of the final headwall of Upper Smuggler’s, a few tight turns lead to a traverse to skiers right under a prominent rock band. Follow this until you pop out above Sunny Spruce. This is only significant because it’s the only way to reach the top of Sunny Spruce starting from Sensation without a walk, allowing you to link any of the trails up here with an Upper Smuggler’s lap. In theory, you could also get to Town Line Chutes and Butt Crack this way. This could be good too if you’re trying to hit Notch lines usually accessed from Stowe, but coming from the Smuggs Side. Rare but I’ve had friends do it. According to a longtime local named June, Duck was a patroller and member of Stowe Mountain Rescue, who still skis to this day.
