Coolwater Map

The Coolwater Glade offers widely-spaced trees on a moderate grade. Dropping off of and returning to Dream, this aspect of the mountain can receive good sunlight during mid-day. While this can sometimes make the pow sun-affected, if the conditions were quite hard early in the morning, the sunlight can help soften the surface up. Consequently, the Coolwater and Dream area provide a good afternoon spot to ski in the springtime.

Description

Since you'll have to do a fair bit of skiing down to Coolwater and then a bit of traversing after you finish, it's best considered as a fun alternate off of Dream if you've had one too many open-run laps.

Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
