About
The ski area caters to local skiers and large groups. The area has three chairlifts and a vertical drop exceeding 2,000 feet (610 m). Operations began in December 1966 with one chairlift and a second was added in 1973.
Terrain
The resort has surprising variety of terrain for its size, encompassing easy beginner runs, cruiser runs, as well as a section of steep chutes. The area covers a northeast-facing below-tree line basin that funnels all runs toward a single base area. Sunlight's summit offers views of Mount Sopris and the Elk Mountains.
