A view of the lower East Ridge from the Clamshell. Vertebrae Ridge rises in the background. Trees, old burns and cut blocks, the East Ridge has it all. When the snow on this west side gets sun-baked, the east side of the ridge remains protected and offers many glade runs including the Left Nostril of the Nose, Sweet & Sour, the Fat, the Skinny, EMOP, Percy's Knob and others. In between glades, there is all kinds of great tree skiing. The old burn visible on the Nose of East Ridge is the Enchanted Forest.
