Stratton Mountain - Spruce

Spruce is a ski trail of varying difficulties located at Stratton Mountain Resort. The trail runs from the summit of the ski area, down to the bottom of the Snow Bowl Express chairlift. The trail begins between the top of the Gondola and the Snow Bowl Express Quad as an expert trail. The run is narrow and starts off flat but quickly plunges into a drop quickly followed by an even steeper pitch followed by a turn. The trail then mellows out, curving its way down the mountain with some smaller pitches and passing over the Interstate traverse trail. After passing over Interstate, the trail's rating changes to advanced and features a few more curves with a couple of slightly less steep dips. The trail then enters one final straight and steep drop into the area at the base of the Snow Bowl Express chairlift.
