General Comments/Likes

Pinedale is a bit further out the gates than Four Pines… Continue west from the top of Four Pines and ski south then side step up to the starting zone.
Pinedale is a tree skiers paradise. Shorter shots but tends to stay untracked longer then Four Pines. Nice Chutes, some cliffy areas, so know where you are going. Takes a little while to get to and from, but can definitely be worth it. Grab some lower Four pines turns on the way out.

Dislikes

Far to get to and to get back to the resort. Shorter shots.
