Hillman’s Highway

Hillman’s is an undeniable East Coast classic. It’s long, wide and sustained skiing above treeline. To access the base, skin from Hermit Lake across the bridge at the beginning of the Sherburne Ski Trail, take a right and look for a small trail that splits up and left. Steep skinning brings you out of the bushes and into the bottom of the line. Boot pack up until a split is encountered at the “Christmas Tree”. The climbers right option is wider, and not quite as steep. The climbers left option is steeper and meanders more, meaning more consequential in case of a fall. Enjoy beautiful fall line skiing down this perfect run to the bottom. Be aware that Hillman’s Highway can, and has been the scene of large and powerful avalanches.
