A bootpack up from the top of Showcase T-Bar leads you to the glacier, which should be open if the T-Bar is. However, on the rare occasion it isn't and you're desperate to get a few turns of sweet pristine virgin powder then you can continue on a 10 minute bootpack up towards Horstman Peak and get a few turns in bringing you back alongside the groomed run Showcase. This normally stays fresh even after heavy dumps because not many want to do the bootpack. A route for those that just want to get every possible in-bounds run ticked off. Save your energy for bootpacks elsewhere!
