Amazing family resort with lots of powder days and tree skiing for every level. Short walk from parking to beginner/ intermediate chair and night skiing for intermediate to advanced.

When the powder gods deliver, they send hard at this coastal gem.
When Apollo is in control, the view from the pristine white up top, through the green hills below to the blue ocean are stunning.
While the weather is variable, I have always had good days on this mountain.
