the parks are pretty fun to fool around in, especially the small park off the metro. but for glades, check out beaver pond/ Andre's paradise, Timbuktu, buckaroo bonanza is a fun easy one, kitz woods. you just have to search around. if its windy, it will most likely not be windy on the jet, that happened last week when i was up there.

I was there two days ago, most snow I'ever seen in my life...west or east coast. It was ridiculous. I have alot of local buddies who know alot of untracked trails but I have no clue where...sorry. The flyer (a.k.a freezer) chair was and I think is still broken down...but it's worth hiking up to from the bonaventure quad, you'll definatly find some fresh..most woods there will lead to easy runs bringing you all the way to the metro chair or Tram...if its not too windy.
P.S. the park on the metro chair is nothing special. Jumps are not well maintained and they're tiny

Timbuktu at the Jet triple chair is just all round fun spot. The first 30 feet in are a little tight but it opens up after and you got a few fun small 6-8 foot drops. I strongly recommend going out of bounds..just be sure to come back when you notice tracks starting to disapear or when you see the Corona cross (look for corona cans in trees)

Off the Bonaventure, skier's right (looking down CanAm), there's a pretty tight glade but you'll find a nice 10 footer which has a nice landing (if there's snow)

Also, if you take the bonaventure and ski round back the mountain, it will bring you to Expo glade which had unbelievable snow, just to the left of that, snow seems to stay as well, so it's a pretty nice run. I got face shots on Tuesday. In fact, after expo there's some fun woods too, not many people go in those, cuz it's a very icy decent just to get to Expo so be carefull.

Otherwise, almost any spot off of Taxi has a glade that's nice n' easy

When I said out of bounds on timbuktu, just be sure to cut left as much as possible to comeback, otherwise you're skiing down to the street and it's a 15 minute walk back

im reporting right now from jay. today was warm and soft. green beret and beaver pond were oodles o fun. mini park is well... mini. there are 2 jumps in the big park that are all right. But if its terrain outside the park that your looking for than you shouldn't have trouble. just ski on groomed for a few minutes until you see a glade, which you will, and jump in.

i'm so pissed a blew my knee and can't ski conditions seem epic

but ya if the flyers broken, you def want to hit the glades over there b/c they will be untracked and most of the non-locals just stick to the main trails. if you take the quad from state side and go straight off the life and go right, down under the flyer (this trails usually deadly ice) and around you will see woods on your left. no one ever thinks to go in there and i have had some of the best first tracks, playing around in those fun little woods.
