Seven hand-built mountains
Blackspruce Plunge
Steep and fast through dense boreal spruce. Thread the slots, pick a fork, drop the 4.5 m rock band and ollie the fallen logs. Tree runs are scored.
Ravenspire
An isolated freeride face with stacked cliff bands, spines, pillow stacks, a deep ravine and the roofs of an abandoned lift station to ride. Fill the flow meter and send it.
Voltage Park
A floodlit night terrain park: a judged slopestyle course, rails everywhere, a 22 ft superpipe and a 33 m big air tower.
Dragonback
A face combed into ridges under a serrated summit. Ride the crests, fly the gaps and hop from ridge to ridge while sluff pours down the gullies.
Kitsune Peak
A Japanese powder volcano at dusk: bottomless pillows, birch glades, a rollercoaster crater rim, a lantern-lit gully and a shrine village with snowy roofs to ride.
Fjordline
Norwegian ski-to-sea at golden hour: a couloir through the summit rock, spines, cliff steps and big rollers, down to a red fishing village. Jump the boathouse and finish on the quay.
Lake Tahoe: 30 real runs on 10 real mountains
The Lake Tahoe map is built from real elevation data (Copernicus GLO-30) with runs, lifts and forest from OpenStreetMap. Ski three real runs on each of ten mountains in the Sierra Nevada of California and Nevada, and glide into a lift base to ride the real chairlifts and gondolas back up.
The longest run drops more than 1,000 m over 7 km on Monument Peak; the shortest is a 600 m sprint on Diamond Peak.
