Here is a look down the line at the bottom Tomichi terminal. After years of cat rides, skinning, or hiking out from the bottom, it’s so great to just catch a ride up on the new Tomichi Lift!
With No Name Basin open for skiing and riding, everyone has been out exploring the new terrain. One of the best trails to discover right now is Eureka. This trail is named for a common phrase used by miners and early explorers and was shouted out with joy and enthusiasm upon an unexpected discovery of gold. Our team of snowcat…
I thought this photo of the No Name Basin brand and its shadow on the wind sculpted snow surface was worth sharing. How awesome is it to have No Name Basin open for skiing and riding on the west side of the Divide? While we are all hoping for more snow to bring this zone to its full potential, I…
The Ricochet terrain park is located along the Gunbarrel Ridge between the Drifter and North Forty trails. This terrain park was one of our original parks and was in operation in the early 2000’s before closing in 2008.

We have 94% of the terrain on the front of the mountain…
