PEAK 6 | Wonderland and Elysian Fields

Known for its blend of intermediate-friendly glades and wide-open bowls, Peak 6 gives skiers plenty of space to roam. Wonderland and Elysian Fields offer gentle tree spacing with soft snow that lasts long after a storm. Access them easily from the Kensho SuperChair for sweeping mountain views and calm, flowing turns through the trees.

PEAK 7 | Ore Bucket and Angel’s Rest

Peak 7 combines rolling terrain with glades that balance excitement and ease. Ore Bucket is a great warm-up for intermediate skiers looking to test their tree-skiing skills, while Angel’s Rest delivers a slightly steeper challenge. Both areas are accessible from the Independence SuperChair and provide smooth transitions between open runs and gladed terrain.

PEAK 9 | The Windows

The Windows is a local favorite for good reason. Its perfectly spaced glades let you flow through the forest with rhythm and speed, and the snow here tends to stay soft thanks to its shaded aspect.
