| Chief Thunder Cloud is a short black diamond mogul run. It branches off from the Lenape/Techumseh trails. It isn't very steep, but it has decent enough moguls. It starts off falling away fairly gradually to the skier's left and then jackknifes back to the rioght, before becoming straight until it dumps you out. This mogul field tends to be challenging not due to the steepness of the grade, which would rate as a blue most other places, but the hardness of the bumps. These bumps tend to be rock hard and can be difficult to ski because beginners go down the trail and stuck in the middle, so you have to avoid the skiers and bounce off the ice bumps to get to the bottom. The slope lets you out onto the Greenhouse Slope. |
