After you get all geared up at the Snowsports School, the Zipline experience begins with a short hike to the top of the Zipline. The first Zipline zips through the trees and across the middle road. The second flies 525 feet through the Moose Tracks forest. The third and final line will zip you across the gully so close to trees you can reach out and grab them if you want.
