Cold Face Map

An enjoyable steep north-facing slope, you can almost always find great conditions on West Face. When groomed, West Face offers a consistent fall line in the shade, which keeps the snow from getting too icy. On a powder day, West Face offers fun turns. Work the trees on either side of the groomer for more untracked snow.
