My only beef was not knowing the trails and the lack of markings/difficulty. Can anyone recommend some easy stuff to break into the area? I did get a map with numbers marking the runs. Are they numbered in any specific way, like lower numbers are easier? Thanks! _________________ Keep Stoke Alive

We are working towards improving the trail markings and getting a better map. It goes very slow though so maybe by the end of the season we will have something. As for an easy run that is marked very well try the 100 series trail. As part of our efforts to mark trails we started by taking one of the easiest trails on each face and using old number plates to mark sections out. On the North Face side what is mainly ski trail #17 is now also the 100 series trail. It starts on the left at the top of the double lift with number 100 and continues on to 101 etc... We have been grooming this trail to really make it easy and a safe way to start into downhill. It will also be a wicked smooth and fast ride for everyone else who is into manicured trails

Thanks!
