Wolf Laurel beginners' run
is ideal for the first-time skier,
with five other runs to offer
more challenging winter sport
for the experienced skier.
Three ski lifts, including one
for the beginners' course,
allow easy access. A double
chair lift up the main run
takes skiers over 3000 feet and
a third lift stretches for 1,000
feet up a long ridge line to
afford expert skiers a good
test of their abilities.
The Wolf Laurel slope drops
from 4,700 feet above sea level
from the top to 4,000 feet above
seal level to the lodge at the
foot of the run, providing an
excellent run. The wide slope
is an added safety factor,
making it difficult for even an
inexperienced skier to go
astray.
