Like Sunlight Mountain
Resort for their glades, William's Peak offers a tame and fresh back
country for all outdoor enthusiasts. It takes about an hour to
climb Mt. Bald which sits at 10,300 ft. The hike up winds through
some peaceful Aspen tree groves. It’s here one feels the freedom
and vastness of this area.
Reaching the top
is rewarding, and the ride down is nothing but a great time. We
were lucky this day to have about eight inches of fresh powder to bomb
through. We were happy to be making some awesome turns through
it.
