Off The Beaten Path

Kirkwood Buried - 9th January 2006

Kirkwood, CA – Kirkwood is 100% open with all 2,300 acres available. With over 10 feet of snow at the top of the mountain from the recent storm, the mountain is in prime shape with immaculate groomers to off-piste adventure. Kirkwood is grooming right from the top of the mountain, offering fabulous high angle grooming for those who like it fast and steep, as well as wall to wall corduroy for the intermediate and beginner set. Kirkwood’s legendary off-piste terrain such as Wagon Wheel Bowl, the Palisades and Thunder Saddle are all deep and soft and beckoning to the adventurous set. Slide Mountain Tubing Hill will be open; the Village Ice Rink will be open as well. All three terrain parks are open with features for all levels of the freestyle set - gentle rollers and banked turns in Adventureland (Chair 9), low to the snow rails and fun boxes in the DC Playground (Chair 7), and a full blown rail yard and a series of high flying hits in the DC Stomping Grounds (Chair 5).
