Freeriding

Freeriders should grab the number 2 lift and head up to the Ptarmigan area where you will find lots of cool freeriding terrain. However, some of the best freeride terrain can be found off lift 8 in the Zip Basin. Here you will find some nice backcountry type terrain with a few gullies and bowls.

Freestylers

Freestylers have a decent terrain park along with an okay pipe, but in truth some of the natural features are better for air.

Pistes

Carvers have a good resort with well maintained trails that are nicely laid out. Some of the best carving is off the number 6 lift.

Beginners

Beginners can take a lesson here to help then tackle what is largely not a beginner’s resort. That’s not to say novices should stay away, it’s just that the resort is more of an intermediate level.
