Ambassadors: The resort’s Ambassador staff offers Free Mountain Tours every day at 10:30am. Intermediate and advanced skiers and riders are welcome and tours last about an hour and a half. Learn everything you want to know about the mountain, the resort, the Yampa Valley and its history. Just show up at the "Mountain Tour" sign at the top of the Vagabond Trail (top of the gondola) and look for our bright yellow jackets.
Grooming: Color grooming maps are produced every morning. This useful tool shows the trails that have been groomed overnight as well as the daily weather, snow conditions, when the half pipe is cut and whether or not Billy Kidd or Nelson Carmichael are skiing today. The grooming report is available at several convenient locations around the mountain.
