Advanced riders confidently descend black runs, link turns in moguls, and handle steeper, ungroomed, and variable snow across most of the resort. Technique becomes dynamic: strong edging, active absorption in bumps, and quick line choices. Many advanced riders begin venturing into off-piste and lift-accessed sidecountry under the right conditions.
Coaching shifts to refinement and specialty terrain: mogul technique, steeps, powder, and the judgment to read snow and terrain safely.
