7.2 miles roundtrip, 1,800 feet elevation gain. A moderately strenuous hike, traversing through forest to an alpine lake. Stay and relax, consider a swim. Continue along the trail to Gem Lake, and beyond. A good hike from Jul to Oct, high avalanche danger in winter.
This hulking overpass allows wildlife to cross the road. Tall fences along this stretch funnel animals to various underpasses, as well as this overpass, to allow safer movement and migration of both creatures and people.
Has the most beginner-friendly green runs.
Has a large terrain park and a halfpipe.
previously known as Hyak
Has predominately moderate blue runs.
Offers mostly expert-level black runs. The in-bounds area at Alpental contains a several-hundred foot tall cliff that's pretty great to ski off of, but check the landing for plenty of snow first, and do this only if you're an expert skier. Pay attention to, and believe the double black diamond signs. The Alpental out-of-bounds backcountry is impressive and readily accessible; make sure to obtain a Backcountry Pass from the Ski Patrol (at their Shack atop Chair 2) before exploring.
