Late Day Loveland Ski Patrol Sweep on Wild Child

Ski Patrol at the top of Wild Child starting their closing sweep. Wild Child offers cornice drop entrances of various heights, or more conservative routes with little or no air time.

Wild Child is great signature run at Loveland Basin. Like two of Loveland's other classic runs, Field of Dreams and Marmot, it requires a hike, and snow conditions are variable, but, on the right day, all of the runs can be some of the best skiing on the planet.

The hike to the top of Wild Child can be cold and windy - don't be fooled by calm and warm conditions at the base lodge.
