Quickdraw is the high speed quad that takes you from the small village/cabin area to the top of Beaconsfield. This one chair services a ton of terrain. The other lifts service lower parts of runs that Quickdraw is used to access.
The T-Bar can be used to lap the terrain parks. This lift can get quite busy at night, as this is the only area that is lit up for night skiing. The Claim Jumper park is only open during the day, but the smaller park is open day and night.
Apex is the closest to Vancouver of the Okanogan resorts, and is pretty good value overall.
