The top of this mountain is wide open and only dotted with small trees until you reach the bottom half where you will find stands large enough to have runs cut in to them. The windy weather and lack of trees on much of the mountain means that there are a lot of wind blown ridges with little snow on them and just as many wind loaded slopes with tons of powder to shred.

This location at the edge of the Rockies provides Fortress with quite a bit ... [ Read More ]
