Big resorts without big resorts crowds. Newer lifts add lots of opportunities at all levels. Price point/value is good.
This mountain most definitely held a smaller family vibe, and could be easily explored in a day.
The mountain offers a variety of trails, and the powder can be unreal at times. The terrain isnt too crazy, but its a really quaint family mountain, perfect for an escape from the crowds.
Lots of groom runs great for new skiers still trying to get that big mountain feel, awesome tree line with lots of little hidden jumps and runs, upper mountain is great fun with knob offering some challenging runs and good powder, chairs are about medium efficiency and staff is amazing at this place great ski school and great people running the mountain
