Each of these mountains offer fun skiing and snowboarding for riders of all abilities. 18% of the terrain at Red Mountain is rated for beginners, with these runs spread out all over the mountain. A good place to start is the Silverlode Chair, to the Motherlode Chair to the summit of Granite Mountain. From here, there is great beginner terrain on the backside of Granite Mountain off of the Paradise Chair.
Intermediate skiers and snowboarders can also explore all over the mountain. The Paradise Chair has nice groomers, and trees to play in. Grey Mountain is a nice place to explore, too, with more intermediate cruisers and trees.
