Description

Prospector is an intermediate cross country trail that makes for a nice gradual ascent if climbing and also a decent downhill. There really aren't any technical challenges on this trail which winds its way up the grassy hillside on the backside of the ski area mountain. A recent extension was put in on this trail which now connects all the way up at the top of the Goldlink/Prospect road.
