Forty percent of the trails in Sundance are for advanced and expert
skiers and the best skiing is on the back mountain. Skiing outside the
boundaries is not permitted, but there are
some areas that you can hike to within the area boundaries that offer
challenging terrain for the expert skier.

Forty percent of the trails are for advanced and expert skiers. Take
Arrowhead and Flathead lifts to Bishop’s Bowl and the Far East (which
has limited access). The best terrain for moguls is Jamie’s, for steep
trails it’s Red Finger and Far East, for deep snow it’s Far East,
Bishop’s Bowl and Drop Out, and for powder it’s Far East. For a
classic day, warm up on Bear Claw, then head for Bishop’s Bowl and
Grizzly Bowl. The best trails for experts are Far East, Red Finger,
Drop Out, Upper Grizzly Bowl and Snow Stake. You don’t have to
traverse all day to get to any of these trails, the powder lasts a long
time and the gradient causes even the best to take a deep breath.
