Powdery open trails, get trails for all levels too. Not busy by any standard, and the views from the top are breathtaking. Advice: It is in a basin where the sun doesn't get to much so dress warmly! And I would recommend a 4 wheel drive as the road is very steep gravel :) Other than that - just the essentials. Snacks, and a camera! ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6196337/14904fed-960e-4662-84f9-03bbdff6c33c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Porters Ski Area Hit the slopes in Castle Hill with a visit to Porters Ski Area.
