Highlights

The large annual snow pack makes for some great turns long into the spring season.

Ascent

Very long approach with the first 2 or so miles on roads. After meandering through the forest for a few more miles you'll pop out of the trees at 7000ft.

Descent

The Bowl itself is amazing, as expected. The options are plentiful from the steep and narrow chutes to wide open pow fields. The remainder of the ski out is rather uneventful with most of it spent traversing through the forest. Overall the pros definitely out way the cons.

Access/Permits

Snow Park permits from Nov-April.
