This facility has runs for all members of the family. Starting from the "School Yard" the runs increase in difficulty up to "Drop Zone" and "Eggbeater" There are also three freestyle runs. Don't forget the 1000 ft snow tubing run. There is a note on their flyer that says, "Trail difficulty at Seven Oaks is a relative system and should not be compared with any other ski area. You should start at an easy trail and work your way up." Chair lifts and tows will help you get to the top. They do have snow machines in case Mother Nature doesn't come through as expected.
