Main Buttermilk Uphill
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
2.45 mi
2,060 ft
Daytime uphill route in the center of Buttermilk resort.
This is the designated uphill route in the main area of Buttermilk resort, beginning from the base lodge and continuing all the way to West Summit if you choose to take it that far. It is mostly on groomed greens and blues, but at one point cuts through a meadow and grove on a skintrack. Buttermilk allows daytime access to this and two other designated uphill routes, enabling locals and visitors alike to train hard all season long. An uphill pass is required. See Buttermilk’s [uphill policy]( for more information. Written by Jesse Weber
