The
mountain

Big enough that it offers trails of every difficulty, small enough that the kids can explore on their own. Our Discover area, friendly lower runs and the steeps of the upper mountain.

Keg Flats
terrain park

A favourite of our gravitationally challenged guests. The park sits right at the base of the upper T-bar with a safe unload point after a 2-minute ride, so you get an amazing amount of laps in.

  • Features for every skill level, lit for night sessions
  • Park Rangers lessons for 13–15 year olds on Thursdays
  • Freestyle Fridays, for any level, are coming soon
