Some swings and you reach the restaurants (The Outpost Lodge, Timber Ridge, Alpenglow Stube and Fondue Chessel) or you can take one of the three intermediate runs to the high speed quad Outback Express, which takes you up to the ultimate and highest point at an elevation of 11980 ft. Here you will find a lot of advanced and gladed runs as well as intermediate runs.
