The Secret Bowl area is a small alpine bowl that sits up and between the Saudan Couloir and the Glacier Express 
Chairlift areas. It is tucked away out of view (except from around Horstman Hut and the top of the Showcase T-Bar) and so is not as well known as other areas (hence the ‘secret’ name). The bowl provides access to a series of 
Black and Double Black runs (and even one Triple Black level run) that drop either into the Glacier Express Chairlift area or the Jersey Cream Express Chairlift area.

 

Skill Level
  • Given the steep and challenging Black and Double Black  and Triple Black) runs that come down out of the Secret Bowl, this is definitely an expert / advanced skiing zone.

Gondolas/Lifts
  • 7th Heaven Express Chairlift: This is the four-person, high-speed chairlift that provides access to the top of the 7th Heaven area and then to the Secret Bowl area.

 

Lodges/Huts
  • Horstman Hut: Horstman Hut is a small hut at the top of the 7th Heaven Express Chairlift area. It offers limited food, snack, and drink options and has a small indoor sitting area. On a nice day, the deck at Horstman Hut offers one of the most beautiful views in all of Whistler Blackcomb. There are also washrooms in a small building next to the hut.

 

Main Routes
  • There are no main Green or Blue routes in this area.

  • Secret Chute: The Secret Chute coming down out of the Secret Bowl is the easiest of the runs in this area and can be considered the main route.  To access Secret Chute, you need to head down Glacier Drive and then turn left to follow the Secret Bowl Traverse into the Secret Bowl area.   Secret chute is then on the left of th traverse and runs down into the Glacier Express Chairlift Area
