Various signs you see on the slopes will indicate where to go and where not to go. Always obey safety signs. Choose terrain that is right for you given your ability and the current snow conditions.
Green Circle means Easiest terrain.
Good if you are a beginner. Novice skiers should take a ski lesson or stay on the "bunny hill" before attempting a Green Circle trail.
Blue Square means More Difficult terrain.
If you've mastered the "greens", look at the trail map for Blue Square trails. Also look at the grooming report to see which trails have been groomed. Start on a GROOMED trail to avoid variable snow conditions.
Black Diamond means Most Difficult terrain.
Unless you feel very comfortable on the "blues", stay away from Black Diamonds or take a ski lesson to learn get ready for the "blacks". These runs are steep, or loaded with moguls, or both.
Double Black Diamond means "no-kidding, this is going to be Most Difficult terrain"
If you are feeling strong on Black Diamonds, give a Double Black a try. You will likely encounter steep pitches, variable terrain and moguls.
