Hogan's Trees

Clicking on the photos enlarges them.  Photos are taken as you come down the hill.  They have been taken over several years, so conditions shown will vary depending on what was happening the day the particular photo was taken.  Photos looking back up the hill will be described as such.

 

Overview

  • Rated:  not marked, probably .  
  • Type of trail:  Treed area, moderate pitch.  Triangular area between Inspiration and Hogan's.  Since it faces south and is on the lower part of the mountain, the conditions in this area vary considerably during the season.  If conditions are good, sections can be nice for getting practice in the trees, as there is easy escape in either direction.
  • Getting off Chair 1, head back over your right shoulder towards the front of the mountain and take the left fork as you leave the lift area.  Do not stop along the cat track or at the end of the cat track until you are out of the way on the far side of the ridge as bottlenecks could force people down into Space, which is NOT for everyone.  Continue down Inspiration to where it forks.  Head to the trees between Inspiration and Hogan's.
  • At the bottom, you can either return to Chair One via Russ's Street or take any of several left turns from Russ's down to the Base Lodge.

The trees become denser as you descend, but most of it is not horribly dense.
