Insider Tips
Molly Hogan is our learning area / ski school hill. Find it adjacent Mountain Goat Plaza (base area) at the bottom of the main lifts. Check out our lesson offerings.
The frontside greens and blues generally get steeper farther to skier's left. (EX: Sundance is steeper than Wrangler; West Wall is steeper than Powerline)
The blue runs in The Beavers (Loafer, Davis) are the most difficult blue runs on the mountain due to their pitch, length, variability, and snow conditions.

Montezuma Bowl (A-Basin Backside)
Insider Tips
The backside ski & snowboard trails are intermediate to expert.
