Lonely Dan Map

This trail has been here for as long as skiing has been at bolton. Its barely visible anymore at the top but if you enter the woods just past the big turn on Peggy Dow's there are some faint cut lines from ages ago. The trail is on the side of old turnpike and follows the same curves and fall line/steepness. The main problem here is the trees. After a month or two of use, The trail becomes jumpy, with moguls turning into massive lips and landings. Don't go to fast if you care about living. Occasionally people will ride this on big pow days but usually its completely untracked. This is the loneliest trail at bolton :(
