Beginners (20%) will find gently slopped cruisers, intermediate skiers (25%) will find more challenging groomers, advanced skiers (25%) can challenge themselves on steeper runs or bumps and experts (30%) can get their heart pumping on hair raising steeps and tight trees.

Kinderski provides half or all day supervision for kids 3 to 6 and includes instruction, equipment rental, lunch (for the all day program), snacks and fun activities all for less than the cost of a babysitter.

There are several maintained cross-country ski trails around Georgetown Lake with varying degrees of difficulty. One of the easiest can be accessed from the last parking lot to the left at Discovery Ski Mountain. The trail starts to the left of the lift and is relatively level.
