Brandywine is an incredible place to sled. Short ride to get into the alpine, and basically endless amounts of terrain to access. You can burn all your gas in a day here easily. Unfortunately, it costs $15 a day to sled here. $10 if you are a sled club member.

The main zone is Brandywine Meadows which has many cliffs and pillows to hit. You can also access Metal Dome from the meadows. From the Meadows, you can take either S Chute or the Gauntlet to access Grizzly Lake and the Ice Cap... where the real adventure begins.

An alternate route of accessing Grizzly Lake is via Chocolate Bowl. This way is actually quicker, but its less fun. Do not go this route on avalanche danger days as you pass through a zone fittingly called Avalanche Alley.

Once you get to Grizzly Lake, it is a simple roop to access the Ice Cap. It's huge and vast with access to many zones to shred and sled. There are tons of natural halfpipes that are super fun to sled around here too.

If you are on a mission, you can head out to Ring Lake and the Upper Callaghan Lake area. This is the only route to Callaghan since they turn Callaghan Lake into a provincial park for wussy cross country skiers. If you go this way, bring spare gas and have a spare belt and some tools.

Back at near the Meadows, there is a cabin that is quite nice. It used to be open access, but now you have to make reservation through http://www.powdermountainsnowmobiling.org/ which is kinda heinous. I believe they should reopen it to all, its a safety issue in case you get stranded out there and need shelter.
