Challenger

Challenger is a black diamond trail in the Glades Peak bowl of the mountain. Challenger starts off of Buckhorn, runs behind the summit lodge and then deviates into the Glades Peak bowl. The short top section from Buckhorn to Turkey Shoot has snowmaking and is more frequently open. I feel it would make more sense to consider it part of Turkey Shoot. It can be used to bypass the congestion at the summit lodge. The rest of the trail is all-natural and is often seldom open. Even when it is open it is often sketchy, so use caution. Other than that is is fun narrow natural run, especially on a powder day.

Access
Challenger can be accessed by any of the three summit lifts. The short top section gets you there from the Glades Peak Quad via Buckhorn. The rest can be accessed via the Sunburst Six or Green Ridge Triple as well by heading for the right of the summit lodge and you'll see the entrance.
