Red Eye Uphill Map

If you want to get some touring laps on Powderhorn’s West End, Red Eye is the uphill route to take. It makes the most efficient climb from bottom to the top, on a blue run that’s normally groomed. It’s also one of the designated routes where uphill is allowed all day. Red Eye connects with plenty of advanced runs and gladed terrain, so you can switch up the descents and hunt for powder stashes as long as your legs can handle.

Description
