Copper Mountain Resort, Colorado (February, 2003)

 
Now let me tell you some areas to avoid.  (Trust me this is from experience.)

Any area on the trail map marked with a red "x" is a bad idea.  Several are awful pulls or really really slow traverses.  But the one pictured is just a bad end to a good route.  This is the end of Carefree.  (My cutoff is just above where you can see.)  Look close the bottom of the run looks like it has moguls on it.  It pretty much does.  They suck.  Plus there is a ton of traffic as Carefree and Coppertone merge and the traffic packs the snow to the point of some serious ice.  It sucks.  (Did I mention that?)
