On The Mountain

For a longer run, beginners should hop on the Homesteaders By-Pass and take an easy cruise back down the mountain on Homesteader.

Intermediate skiers/riders will feel most at home on the mountain with approximately 70% of runs catered to suit their needs. The Lower North Axe will drop you at the start of half-a-dozen choices, including Eye-Opener and Mighty Peace.

Advanced/Experts will want to make their way over to Gold Rush, which will take them Little Hunter, Bulls Head, Red Crow and Whoop-Up. Sounds fun!

The over-all design of the mountain is simple and very user friendly, with the expert terrain primarily at the top, intermediate runs in the middle, and the lower areas for beginners.
