WILLIAMS PEAK (1) Elevation: 10,040 ft

Williams Peak is a "mini-backcountry" skiing experience featuring super safe terrain that is fun to poke around in for fun winter workouts and adventure. If you're looking for steep and deep you're in the wrong place. It's affectionately described as the "ghetto" of backcountry skiing but it's great if you're in the neighborhood and looking to get out and you're by yourself. Virtually no avalanche danger on this little, friendly mountain.

It was all fun until Daddy tried to go off a jump and we both face-planted. My face was full of snow and I didn't like it. But, I rallied for the rest of the run and was happy after we warmed up....[view]
