they dont have a t-park, but the backside makes up for that since its all double blacks. in march they usually get most of their powder days and if you go there on a weekday you can have the mountain practically all to yourself

I think Discovery's a fun mountain to ride for a day or two.  The backside, that is.

I remember a few cliffs back there and some rock piles at the bottom that had some potential for a really cool jump (or jumps).

why do they have 2 lifts that run side by side up the mountain from the same base to the same summit or is that just an errror on the trail map?

one of the chairs is a real old double seater, so they installed a newer triple chair right next to it. there isnt any lift lines at all now

when i saw the trailmap it reminded me of one of those ski areas in the midwest that has like 2 quads right next to each other for 400 vertical feet. do they both run?
