Recent earthworks initiatives have however ensure that beginner to intermediate skiers and boarders are fully catered for. These include providing more expansive beginner and intermediate groomed trails for skiers and boarders in both the Home and Saddle Basin and a free beginner surface lift and ski area near the base facilities.[1] There is also a small terrain park and kids fun trail to explore.
