East Ridge Cat Skiing Terrain and Super Road

The East Ridge Super Road leaves Vertebrae Lodge to pass south across the Home Run cut block and onto the flank of East Ridge. The road traverses the side of East Ridge as it climbs to the crest, at it's south end, which is called the Nose. From the Nose, the road follows the crest of the East Ridge north to a point on Super Spruce, high above and a little south of the Megahooped Trees.

From the Nose, north to Super Spruce, the road passes one skiing line after another, both on the east and west aspects. Runs to the east drop into the valley between East Ridge and Vertebrae Ridge. On the West, runs drop into the Chatter Creek valley. A number of the westerly runs open into large cut blocks.

Runs to the east include, the Left Nostril (at the Nose), the Trojan, Sweet Cheeks, the Phat, the Skiiny, Puma, EMOP, and Percy's Knob. Runs to the west include the Right Nostril (at the Nose), Enchanted Forest, Super Bowl and Super Spruce.
