  • Black Bear

    Your typical Smuggs black diamond. It’s kind of narrow, bumped, with some double fall lines, pretty cool. Oh, except in the middle of this one, there’s this little cliff you […]

  • Black Snake

    Now before all you intermediates start jumping to conclusions about the name, it’s not like it sounds. Like its counterpart, Chilcoot on Madonna, this blue winder offers stunning views of […]

  • Bootlegger

  • Highlander Glades

    What exactly is a Highlander anyway? It’s an individual who loves the high country, plays bagpipes, and wears a kilt. Our version is a little different: one who craves steep […]
