Meet the newest members of our family

We would like to introduce you to the new mountain trails...

Buckshot - We have carved out a large extension to the original 1970's “Buckshot” trail that was never built. Buckshot is located beside "Shantyman" and drops into “Shannahan’s” trail. Buckshot travels over our steepest terrain and will be rated a black diamond for advanced skiers and riders.

Bear Paw - The Bear Paw Trail has been created beside Dillon’s Dip and the old Pineside area. This is beautiful rolling and twisting Blue terrain geared for intermediate and advanced skiers and riders.  

The new trails are located in the heart of our best terrain and will make skiing on the Solar side of the mountain a lot more fun and challenging for those looking for adventure.

Progression - A new beginner trail has been constructed at the west side of the carpet lift. Progression has been named for its function – it’s taller and a little steeper than the Beginner Bowl. Early skiers and riders will use Progression as an intermediate learning step to prepare for advancement to the chairlifts.

Progression will help early riders and skiers to learn how to comfortably manage on steeper green terrain. By using progressive terrain and techniques, all new skiers and riders will know with confidence when they are ready for the chairlift and the mountain’s green trails. Progression also helps parents and instructors make decisions with students about their next steps.
