Cardrona → Captain's Café

Cardrona already gives you a good map — on the mountain, in the resort’s own app, and on its website, with live lift and piste status. What none of them do is plan the way there. Tell Glidr where you are and where you want to get to, and it works out the exact sequence of pistes and lifts to ride, then guides you turn by turn. Here is that sequence to Captain's Café.

The computed route

1. Lift · McDougall's Chondola Take McDougall's Chondola lift 911 m · +177 m ascent
2. Piste · Weston's Trail Keep left onto Weston's Trail 59 m · −1 m vertical Easy
3. Piste · Shaun's Way Keep left onto Shaun's Way 770 m · −57 m vertical Intermediate
4. Piste · A Real Journey Bear right onto A Real Journey 425 m · −99 m vertical Intermediate
5. Piste · Highway 89 Keep left onto Highway 89 — arriving at Captain's Café 284 m · −62 m vertical Intermediate

*Model estimate, includes the lift ride — not a measured descent.

†Difficulty as tagged in OpenStreetMap; untagged pistes are treated as intermediate.

A map shows the mountain — a route shows the way

More than a map: what else Glidr does

Routing is the start. Glidr also keeps the parts of a ski day a piste map never touches — all private by default, so you decide what's shared:

• An end-of-day recap. When your day wraps up, Glidr shows your vertical, distance, runs, top speed, time on snow and lifts taken, a map trace of every run you skied, and any personal bests you set — with a one-tap card you can share.
• Your season stats. Lifetime distance, vertical, runs and days ridden add up over the season, alongside personal bests like your longest descent and biggest-vertical day.
• Friends on the mountain. Add friends by QR code, @handle or a shared link, see them live on the map while you ride, and share runs and recaps with photos, likes and comments.
• A live crew leaderboard. Skiing together? Glidr can rank your group's top speed and run count on each piste in real time, so there's a running scoreboard on the chairlift.
• Group trips. Organise day trips and meetups with your crew right in the app.

How this route was made — and what it is not

• This route was computed by Glidr’s routing engine from a dated snapshot of OpenStreetMap data for Cardrona (2026-07-27). It is a map snapshot, not live cartography, and the mountain can change.
• Piste difficulty here comes from OpenStreetMap tags — it is not measured or verified by Glidr, and pistes without a tag are treated as intermediate.
• The estimated time is a model estimate, not a measured descent, and it includes the lift ride.
• Glidr is a navigation aid, not a safety device. It does not replace resort signage, piste markers, closures, or ski-patrol instructions — always follow those.
• Glidr does not know lift opening hours or seasonality, and this route does not account for closed lifts or pistes. Check opening hours and status locally.
