On The Mountain

On the west side beginners can head to Prospect Bowl and enjoy the 2 mile long gentle trails. The terrain around Lift 10 is all about easy skiing and snowboarding as is the 4.6 mile long Galloping Goose trail that winds its way gently from the top of Lift 12 all the way down to Big Billie's Restaurant.

Intermediates will love the linking corduroy cruisers across the entire resort, See Forever is over 3 miles long and has beautiful views across the mountains. As well as the groomed trails, intermediates can enjoy some of the treed terrain, gentle moguls and easy chutes around Lift 5.

On the east side the advanced/expert skiing and snowboarding is mainly around Lift 9 and Lift 6. Here you have steep bump runs like Kant-Mak-M and Spiral Stairs. The very steep black diamond Plunge trail descends a whopping 3,140 vertical feet from top to bottom and certainly gives a thrill. After a big dump head to the double black diamond Little Rose Trail for some deep powder turns.
