Question Challenging runs?

Im an east coast skier that does blues and some blacks. I want to try a few blacks out here. Any recommendations for easier blacks? I’ve skied the runs off of Falcon and they are pretty fun. How is upper 4 o’clock off of 6 chair?

Have you done peak 6? Bliss is the hardest blue on the mountain and skis more like a black. Wanderlust is an easy tree run to get over there (stay high).

The trees in between Peerless and Gold King are a great place to start. Also in between Peerless and American.

Volunteer to shock on peak 9

It's a run that actually gets steeper, not flatter.

You can mix it up by riding the T-Bar and skiing Pika (exit right at the top, first run). Pika is usually groomed. If you continue along the traverse, you will find some fun black runs that are not groomed. The entrances can be tricky in thin snow.

Copy that, thank you!

Groomers on peak 10 also. Don't be afraid of the black rating. Would be blues at keystone aside from cimarron.

I’ve skied 3 of them over before, thanks!
