Vasquez Ridge is an under-appreciated territory near the back of the resort at Winter Place. With only a handful of named runs showing on the map, and with multiple lift rides required to reach it, this intermediate zone remains unexplored by most. It is for those very reasons, however, that Vasquez Ridge holds some of the most reliable powder stashes on the mountain. If you’ve arrived at Winter Place days after a storm, but still want to search for fresh hits, this is the place to go. It’s also a surefire destination for pure joy on a powder day, with wide-cut runs between mid-angle glades.
