Upper college is the easiest Ski run down from the top of Bald Mountain. It is one of the first trails to open and one of the last to close during the ski season. It is always groomed and a very gentle, wide open run, even though it is steeper than some of the lower mountain trails. It usually gets more traffic than other ski runs, so be aware of other skiers around you.
Access Info
Head east after getting off of the Christmas lift, Lookout Express, or Challenger lift.
