Val d'Isere. It has a trail down a creek bed called "Piste Perdu" which is French for "Lost Trail".

There's one point where you ski through a natural tunnel and there's only about 5 feet of head room. A pretty cool thing. The rest of it is kind of like skiing down Keyhole Gulch next to the Sugarloaf lift at Alta.

Buttermilk. About as challenging as Ski Cooper.

I drove up from Monarch to try out Ski Cooper a couple of years ago. Off the back side, they have some more interesting gladed stuff and snow cat skiing. The front of the mountain is flat even by New England standards. It was fun for a 1 day explore and the place had a nice friendly vibe but I doubt I'd ever go back.
