Between Lowman and the Stanley Basin lies hundreds of acres of backcountry snow just waiting for you and your sled. The Lowman to Dagger Falls trail is groomed, and once at Dagger Falls, you can head west to Deadwood Lodge or east towards Banner Creek. With the exception of Copper Mountain, the area has no restrictions on motorized vehicles.
