The system consists of 3 loops: Calf, Cow and Bull. The loops consist of a total of approximately 5km of varying terrain and difficulty. There are some sharp turns on downhill sections and some short but challenging uphill climbs. The first 0.5km of the system has two-way traffic but is groomed wide enough to easily accommodate skiers. The trail is groomed for freestyle and classic skiing, depending on snow and weather conditions.
Note: Once skiers approach the end of the section with two-way traffic, keep to the left. At each subsequent intersection, keeping left will take you on the longer loops. The second intersection takes you on the Cow loop that has sharp turns on the downhill run so skiers will have to use caution here.
