W-B has a lot of everything. As with any ski resort, after a storm, the steeper areas with more traffic will bump up quicker than those areas with less traffic. W-B has vast snow fields & bowls, extensive glades and a glacier. There is something for every taste & style.
However you decide to work the mountain, for my last run of the day I like to wind up at Horstman’s Hut at the 7th Heaven area around 2:45 – 3 pm. Enjoy a frosty adult beverage and hang with my buds until patrol kicks us out. Then ski the fields in 7th Heaven down through the trees of Bark Sandwich. Then cut skiers right to Merlin for a nice cruiser back to the condo.
Neither or both. It depends on the weather when they get the powder. This is two big areas under one ticket and you can get a different run every day for a week and not repeat them. The area is partially groomed every night and some runs are never groomed. It is so big you don’t consider what it has, you just go ski it. Some runs are so steep they will mogul up and stay that way until the next storm, others are more moderate and you can take 20 minutes or more to ski down the run to the chair lift. Catch the early gondola and have breakfast at the top.
