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. Skiing outside the ski area 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.
