Hope Slope and the Depot

(Hope Slope was originally "Dope Slope" back when "dope" was ski wax.  Clearly that became socially offensive for a beginner's trail as time passed.)

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:  
  • Type of trail:  Depending on your route, this is either a gentle beginner trail or a terrain park with smaller features.  Lit for night skiing when it is offered.
  • Hope Slope is the TRAIL.  "The Depot" is the terrain park that is ON the trail.
  • There are two routes to this area.  The route resulting in the longest run and the fastest lift to get up the hill again would be via Chair Two.  Take a left off the lift and either use Hellroaring or Swift Creek to take you to Home Again, then follow Home Again until you come to Chair Three.  Or, you can just take Chair Three, but it's SLOW.  On the other hand you don't have to worry about getting back to it (hard left onto Ski Way before you reach the Depot).
  • Please note that terrain park features change over the years.  Do not rely on the pictures below for much beyond judging the slope and the overall environment.  Refer to the resort's website for information on current terrain park features and routes.
