Mountain High riding guide - World Snowboard Guide

Navigation

Freeriding

Freeriders will no doubt find the slopes on the East Resort to there liking, especially the Olympic Bowl which is a double black diamond stretch. On the West Resort there are a number of nice trails to check out with lots of trees and some fine steeps. The runs off the Inferno Ridge are particularly good as is the Vertigo. For those who like to take it easy then the Upper and Lower Chisolm trails are first class trails.

Freestylers

Mountain High Terrain Park Freestylers are extremely well looked after here with choice of five terrain parks and two halfpipes as well as loads of natural hits from which to get air from. The terrain parks, which are sponsored by Vans are spread across both mountains and known as the Faultline. Two of the parks are for beginners while both half pipes have their own drags lifts

Pistes

Riders will find the East Resort offers some of the best cruising with a good selection of runs from the top.

Beginners

Beginners should like Mountain High with a nice selection of gentle slopes laid out at the base areas with the best runs on the West Mountain off the Coyote and Roadrunner lifts.
