Signature Run — Weber Bowl

Management and staff collaborated and decided that the signature run was Weber Bowl. The reason is simple enough: Skiers, snowboarders and, when time allows the staff, love to leave their signatures in the form of tracks in the powder in the bowl. Its popularity stems from the fact that the tracks are visible from the road, the two lodges and the parking lots. The run is accessed by way of the Lightning Ridge snowcat program. It is rated as expert with a 30-degree consistent pitch on a wide open bowl. It is wide enough that about 30 tracks can be set side-by-side in the snow after a storm and never will two of the tracks cross. The vertical drop is about 1,100 feet, which also makes it a good long run. Weber Bowl got its name because it is on the Weber side of the Weber County line. As might be expected, Cache Bowl is located in Cache County.

There are a number of reasons why this is the most popular run, among them being easy access and being a great cruising run. The run is accessed off the Hidden Lake high-speed quad and is rated as an intermediate run. This is a wide open area that is ideal for wide turns and relaxed skiing. It is also lined with, as would be expected, white pines, making it a very scenic run. This is a favorite area for those looking for some great powder skiing after a storm. It's intermediate slope and good snow conditions make it a popular place for skiers or snowboarders to either learn, practice or simply enjoy a little deep-snow skiing. At the top of the lift is the Hidden Lake Lodge, which makes it a convenient stop between runs for a hot drink or quick meal.
