Sugarloaf's binder trail

[Meo]

Someone climbed Sugarloaf via binder trail?

I received a message from their website saying that snowshoers are allowed to use the binder trail to reach the summit. But what exactly is the binder trail? Would that be the service road mentioned in the Maine Mountain Guide? Would that be the red dotted trail on the official ski-trail map we can download from Sugarloaf's website? Is this trail/road groomed in winter? Is it too steep to glissade back on "crazy carpets"? I'd love to try that

We plan to do this Friday.

Thanks for the infos

The Binder Trail is a ski trail, it runs down the west side of the mountain.

Check www.sugarloaf.com for the trail map. It'll have Binder on it. It's somewhat to the left of center from the viewer's perspective (mountain right).
