"We headed directly for the sidecountry gate at the end of Canoe Ridge, and were greeted with the sight of wide open bowls full of minimally tracked powder, despite the fact that it had been five days since the last storm. Fish pointed out a series of bowls extending along the ridge away from the resort, each one steeper than the last, all easily accessible from the Summit Express,"
"We reveled in the soft snow that filled the first bowl we dropped into, and continued down through a stand of widely spaced trees before finding ourselves at just above the top of the Wildwood Express. We cut through some of the in-bounds glades to return to the Tamarack Express and back up to the summit for another lap. We stayed in-bounds on this lap, dropping the small cornice onto the steep headwall of the aptly named "Adrenaline.""
Tamarack Resort sits above Lake Cascade and provides easy access to sidecountry terrain reachable from the Summit Express. Guides led skiers through a sidecountry gate at Canoe Ridge into wide, minimally tracked powder bowls and through widely spaced trees back toward the Wildwood Express. In-bounds runs include steep headwalls such as the run named "Adrenaline," plus high-speed groomer laps with Long Valley views. The Rock Fire opened roughly 60 new skiable acres and two named runs, reshaping terrain by removing vegetation and exposing boulders, cliffs, and subtle land contours, creating expansive new lines and varied skiing possibilities.
