The Devils Dish Pan trail takes a hard Left about 100 yards up the Nebraska notch hiking trail. This trail is accessed from the parking lot at the end of the Stevensville road in Underhill.

The DDP is a ski trail really but it sees its share of snow shoes in winter. It climbs up to the low point in the ridge just north of the Mt Dewey summit. The Dish Pan is a valley like area below the notch which sees tremendous winds often leaving a lot of deep drifts. An area which because of its proximity to the low notch just gets windy. No evil forces at work, no penalty to be paid.

On the east side of the notch is another area called the Devils something or other. Its just a boulder strewn valley. House sized rocks all over the place. We often take the Dish Pan to the Bruce trail and end up on top of the Stowe Quad lift. We have a coffee and then reverse the route. Far from the darkness the names suggest this route is probably one of the finest back country ski routes in all of Vermont. Its where I find peace and understand all things. No need to look anywhere else.

No magic, no mumbo jumbo, just a hill, trees, snow and some skis! That's all you need.

Tim you should go with us, we will convert you. Its like Heroin.
