Vail - Northwoods to Flap Jack (via Timberline Catwalk)

Timberline Catwalk to Northwoods to Flap Jack is a ski run of varying difficulties located at Vail Ski Resort. The trails run from the summit of the Northwoods Express (Lift #11), Mountaintop Express (Lift #4), and the High Noon Express (Lift #5) down to the bottom of the Northwoods Express Lift. The run begins to the skier's right of the top of the Northwoods Express on Timberline Catwalk, a beginner trail that begins with a short drop before traversing across the top of the mountain. The run eventually turns off the traverse to the left onto Northwoods, an intermediate trail, which begins with a short but steep drop. The run then stays to the right at a fork with Northstar to continue on Northwoods which features a few more steep intermediate pitches. The trail eventually merges onto Flap Jack, a wide beginner trail that gently runs straight down the mountain before arriving at the bottom of the Northwoods Express Lift.
