This is a flowy and exciting tree run on Peak 6. You will have to take a super hard lookers-right off the Kenosha SuperChair. The entrance is hidden behind Pioneer Crossing and takes effort to reach especially as a snowboarder, but is rewarding and solitary. We’re not sure how Lost Cabin was named, but we do know that when this terrain opened for the 2013–2014 ski season, a majority of the trails were named by Breck’s fans. Be sure that you’re comfortable riding in trees on steeper terrain before attempting this run.

Storms in Summit County roll in like clock work during the summertime, so you better do all your fun outdoor activities before lunch. Sometimes the rain blows over quickly, sometimes it lasts until sunset, creating a beautiful pattern in the sky.

Autumn 2022
A small snowstorm turned the peaks white in September, and I ran out of my front door to get the clouds leaving the mountains as the sky cleared. The excitement of ski season set in.
