Centennial to Powell to Cinch is a beginner ski run located at Beaver Creek Resort. The trails run from the summit of Beaver Creek Mountain down to the bottom of the Cinch Express Lift near the top of the Centennial Express Lift and the Spruce Saddle Lodge. The run begins underneath the top of the chairlift on Centennial, this portion of which is rated as beginner. The trail gently runs underneath the chairlift before reaching an intersection with Cinch. Here, Centennial continues straight as an advanced and intermediate trail as it continues down to the Beaver Creek Village base area. Meanwhile, Cinch gently cuts across the mountain. I took this traverse until I reached the summit of the Rose Bowl Express Lift, where I briefly skied onto Powell to bypass Cinch, and quickly merging back onto the trail. Cinch then proceeds to cut back across the mountain to the bottom of the Cinch Express Lift, while the trail continues down to the Beaver Creek Village.
