and groomed terrain. Take the T-Bar up to Pika, Ptarmigan, White
Crown and Forget-Me-Not for wide-open bowls and stunning views.
Peak 9's Peerless is a great place to learn how to master the
bumps,while bump masters will appreciate 6-Chair, especially on a
powder day. A quick ride up the Falcon SuperChair on Peak 10
wisks skiers and riders to three advanced intermediate groomers,
steep and deep bump runs, and the legendary glades of The Burn.
Expert 32%:
Peak 7 offers vast steep terrain without the trees at a 45-degree
pitch. On Peak 8, the experienced shredder can enjoy amazing
alpine vistas from atop Horseshoe Bowl (lift access) or Imperial

55-degree pitch, between 10 and 80 feet of cornice, rocks to jump
and of course, fresh tracks. Peak 9 features tree skiing at it's best.
The Windows is an easy hike (anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes
