The ski area is now known as... Summit East or the Nordic Center. This is double track climbing at its finest. You will be spent by time you get to the top. The view from the top is unreal. Be carefull there are lots of cars going up the road to start a hike at Windy Pass or to join the PCT. The ride down averaged 25 mph+ so hold on.
