1) attach your skis to your leg with a strap (see photo.) The Eaglecrest retail shop has over 100 straps to give out that can be adapted to use as a leash.
2) use your nordic, alpine, or day pass to get on Hooter
3) signal the lift operator at the top with a “thumbs down” hand motion to slow the lift so you can get off safely
4) use the groomed Black Bear road to traverse over towards the upper loop. Watch for downhill traffic where trails merge.
5) access the upper loop trail system from a couple of different spots along the downhill run
6) when finished skiing, walk down Sneaky to get back to the base. Stay to skier’s right.
