Its unspoiled wilderness provides everything from challenging double black diamond runs of the Knife Ridge chutes to a variety of intermediate terrain where navigation skills are called into action. Well-groomed runs are also a part of the scheme complimenting the beauty, excitement and challenge of the Alberta Lift area.
