Template:Sproatt Rainbow ski common
Start skiing up the road from the cemetary to a couple of buildings by a map kiosk. Keep left here, following the directions for the Rainbow Madely Trail. There are two roads heading up 21 mile creek from this point; you want to be on the higher road. The road climbs steadily to about 1000m and then levels off. Past an outhouse the trail leaves the road on the left - this junction is easy to miss, especially in winter. The trail climbs gently back and forth through a logged area with lots of slide alder, soon reaching old growth forest. Once in the big trees, the trail is much easier to follow in winter.
