Lookout Trail 5.2 km-Difficult

From the junction of Pocaterra and Tyrwhitt Trails, it is a hard, steady uphill climb (215 m elevation gain) to the fire lookout and fantastic views of the valley. The downhill sections to Hydroline and Tyrwhitt are very difficult and for accomplished skiers only.

Packers Trail 3.1 km-Difficult

Skiing this trail from the Boulton area to Pocaterra Trail is relatively easy, but the reverse course can be difficult, especially under icy conditions.

Stroil Trail 0.6 km-Difficult

This trail links Come Along and Pocaterra trails. Try the short uphill on Stroil to get the long quick downhills that Come Along has to offer.

Tyrwhitt Trail 4.5 km-Intermediate with difficult section

This trail runs through the gently rolling Tyrwhitt Valley from the south end of the Pocaterra Trail to Elk Pass. The trail is at the 1981 in elevation level and considerable snow accumulation allows for skiing as late as May. For your safety, please do not stop between the Avalanche Danger signs.

Whiskey Jack Trail 4.5 km-Difficult

A few abrupt downhills make for fast descents on this challenging, exciting trail.
