And just like that - my 21st and final double diamond at Killington! I included some of the Devil's Fiddle footage to give an idea of the steep pitch and how to find the entrance. The woods felt a bit easier than Centerpiece or Growler, though.
Advice: General glade rules apply (don’t wear your pole straps, go slow, etc). The entrance is a little hard to find (and has an old and deteriorated sign), so I'd try to slide down the right side of Devil's Fiddle to find the entrance. The unique tree regrowing effort nearby makes it hard to enter the trail any lower. At the bottom you may need to traverse to the left across a creek so keep that in mind. Other than that, it's just a normal double diamond glade - take it slow until you know!
Overall Difficulty: 8/10
Relative Difficulty (Double Diamond): 5/10
Accessibility Rating: 2/10 (Barely-visible entrance only accessible from the top of DF)
Open Trail Index: 1/10 (Usually the last two trails to open on Bear Mountain, which is saying something)
Enjoyment Rating: 5/10 (A little slushy but definitely a rewarding experience!)
