On The Mountain

The Owl Learning Centre, located at the base of the North Star Express Chairlift in the Village, has a 180 foot long Magic Carpet servicing a wide and very gentle slope. It is the perfect place for Beginners to learn to turn and stop before getting enough confidence to catch the North Star Express Chairlift to the top.

Once at the top the Main Trail, leading directly under the chairlift, is wide and long; just make sure you take the Easy Way Trail branching off to the right when you get close to the Village to avoid the steeper bottom section. 

Intermediates can happily access the entire mountain with 42% of the mountain suited for intermediate skiing and snowboarding. Long corduroy groomed, wide cruising trails lead down from the North Star Express Chairlift, the Rose and Boundary trails especially good for fast linked GS turns. Trials 47, 48 and 49 in the Easter Bowl area are long, fast, tree lined groomers, excellent in the morning for first tracks.

Advanced/Experts will find the double black diamond treed terrain to the far left of the Tamarack Chairlift, has some of the best tree skiing and snowboarding in the region, featuring tight tree sections, great for fast slalom turns. The Tamarack Chairlift also services steep mogul covered runs like Rush and Bunker Hill. 

The Easter Bowl area has steeper tree skiing and snowboarding on the top right hand side of the Easter Chairlift and tight narrow steep chutes and mogul covered runs.
