Beginners/First Timers will find the Union Creek Village base a great starting point with ski school, moving carpets and nice green gentle slopes. A great chair to head to for novices or easy runs is the Kokomo Chair. From The Village at Copper base is the American Flyer that offers a lovely long green run called Coppertone.A word of warning dont confuse this chair with the American Eagle as this will take you to intermediate and advanced terrain.

Intermediate levels check out Timberline Express chair with plenty of cruisey trails found under the chair line,Copperfields is a fun trail and after a fresh snowfall enjoy going in and out of the trees through here. I found the East part of the Village quieter and the Super Bee Chair is great to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main village area with loads of blue runs to choose.

Expert/Advanced levels head to Tucker Mountain and take the snowcat the run out off the chutes through here was fantastic even into late March we were getting some great untracked snow in the trees that eventually spit you out at the bottom of Blackjack Chair. The Bowls are fun with my personal favourite late in the season being Resolution Bowl each run has something different be it bumps, glades or finding that untracked line.
