Reynolds Glade is the north-facing slope off of Reynolds Peak. The pitch varies depending on where you enter the run, but it's all between 20° and 30°. It's a popular place and gets skied, but it's a good run none-the-less.
Depending on the snow and your enjoyment of lower-angle slopes, you can choose your turnaround point. The return skin track typically starts near the bottom of Reynolds Glade, on the skier's right, at one of two flatter areas. You can skin back up to Reynolds Peak, ski East Face, skin a bit more, and ski either Tom's Hill or Weathering Heights, and return to your car. A good day. Remember to fight to protect these wonderful public lands.
Follow the route to Reynolds Peak from the Spruces parking. When you're ascending the ridge from Dog Lake to Reynolds Peak, you can drop into the large clearing on your right that is a few hundred feet before the summit for lower-angle skiing (~23°), enter from the summit, or pass the summit and enter the opening few hundred feet down the ridgeline.
