Freeriding

Freeriders with experience will head straight for Delirium Dive a short walk off the Continental Divide chair, this area is roped off and you access it through a little gate which only opens if youre wearing a Transceiver. What a great idea it keeps all those twats who know shit all about backcountry boarding out. The Dive is a steep open powder face with some insane shoots and drop offs at the top, its a must.

 

Outside the Dive the best and most challenging areas can be found on Goat's Eye Mountain . On Lookout steep runs through the trees to check out include Little Angel, Ecstasy and Horots Revenge where you may find powder. From the Wawa  chair you can ride down a frozen waterfall on the aptly named Waterfall run.

 

 

Freestylers

Freestylers have the usual offerings, but those who dont dig freeride and just want to ride the park should head to Lake Louise . Theres a cool halfpipe under the Strawberry chair and a sizeable terrain park reached from the Continental Divide chair. You can also pull some big air and spin until you're dizzy, on the natural hits dotted all over the place. For a great drop off hit the entrance to the Head Wall run with speed.

Pistes

Theres an array of pistes to have it down at speed, you will find lots of groomed runs to tackle all over resort, the best of which are on Lookout Mountain . With a chose of lazy green down to the day lodge or some well maintaind steeper blacks under the Angel Quad..You can also find some okay cruising trails on Sunshine Coast and Wild Fire, but make sure you have plenty of speed for the long traverse back to the lift station.

Beginners

Beginners and intermediate riders are well catered for on runs that include The Red 90, South Divide and Green Run. The Wawa chair gives access to some excellent novice freeriding, although short. The Dell Valley run off the Strawberry chair has some great banks to slow you down when trying to link those first few turns.
