Small but Sweet

Tue 9 September 2008 Henry

I've gone to this mountain a few times toward the end of the season, it's small with only 1 lift, (and a t-bar from mid to almost the top (short hike from to of t-bar to top of mountain)) but will usually have an amazing amount of powder.

The tree runs are excellent, and you may only see a few people on a few runs (while you're in the trees) all day. If you hike to the top, you probably won't see anyone else all day while riding.

Deep powder, friendly people, great big spruce tree runs...
