Kirkwood Beginner Skiing
Kirkwood’s beginner skiing choices are somewhat limited. The Timber Creek area is home to the bulk of Kirkwood’s green trails.Most of the green trails are located in the Timber Creek, and because the area does not appeal to the advanced skier, it is a much more comfortable, less intimidating experience for the first-time skier. Four green trails are serviced by the Bunny Triple Chair. On the other side of the Timber Creek base area, the Timber Creek Express Quad services a lone beginner run – Squirrel Ridge. The Mighty Mountain Children’s Center is also located at Timber Ridge Base.
On the main side of the resort, beginners have only one lift which services green terrain – the Snowkirk Triple. Two runs – Snowkirk and Hay Flat – are the only options. There are no green runs from the summit.
