Roscoe's Map

Roscoe's Ridge can be hiked, skied, or snowmobiled. The resort plows a groomed path for snowmobile and patrol access every day. This makes the ridge a lot more accessible and safe to ski. Once you reach the top, you can ski directly down the ridge, which is a fun and mellow run. Once you reach the lower section, you can ski off into the trees, which upon you will encounter a cliff with many chutes and places to jump. It is a very fun and famous run on the PC Ridgeline. Though ski patrol can access it easily, you are still required to check in with them and bring gear in the case of an avalanche
