Quiet little resort with essentially only one lift for experts. The main lift to the top offers varied terrain with steeps, groomers, massive bumps and powder stashes that seem to last awhile after a dump. Low key place where the vibe is about skiing! The Edge coffee shop has amazing lunches and a ski thru outdoor ordering window so you can chug a coffee on the lift! The Gunbarrel Saloon is a great apres bar with good food and a decent selection of cold beer! (And other drinks) Mid week there is a very distinct lack of people and the only lineups you will encounter is the odd Saturday morning or a busy holiday. Even then it's less than 4 minutes tops but it's very rare! Great learning area with a magic carpet and a fixed grip triple with awesome intermediate terrain and a safe place to explore for all levels.

Apex has some of the most insane terrain Ive seen at what is considered a smaller ski area. I found an solid blend of open groomers and very steep, technically challenging terrain. I have been twice and both times there have been minimal liftlines. Staff are very friendly. We met a few locals who are very proud of their mountain, and were glad to share and recommend some runs. Theres not much shop-wise in the village but there are a few cute places for food/drinks, and on-hill accommodations for reasonable prices.

Short runs and not a lot of food options sadly But super fun hill great ski school and family friendly. Slow lifts tho but line ups we good
