Revelation Bowl

This bowl is for experts only, but this isn’t the steepest terrain on the mountain. You won’t find any double black diamonds here. However, the terrain in the Revelation Bowl feels like it is perched on the edge of the resort, with a slight chance that you may ski right off of the edge and into the canyon if you are not careful.

This is one of the most scenic places to ski on the mountain, and you’ll find the sundeck at the Bear Creek Overlook resting at the bottom of this bowl.

The Bear Creek Overlook

Pull up a chair and enjoy the sun on this platform at the bottom of the Revelation Bowl. The surrounding terrain is steep, and the scenery is beautiful. You are not in Kansas anymore, and this is a place where you will be reminded of that.
