Pats Peak is pretty small as far as ski resorts go, with only 22 trails to its name – and most of them for beginners to boot. Still, the fact that it offers night skiing on most of the mountain is something to look forward to, as is the fact that Pats Peak has some really steep and long pitches attached to its name. Pats Peak also has a challenging terrain park, but mostly Pat's Peak is about learning how to ski and perfecting what you've learned. More experienced skiers would probably want to stick to the Hurricane trail to slake their adrenaline thirst.
