Its called powder king for a reason! Fun groomed trails and even more fun to be found in the trees! Staff are great and lift lines short always! And the best small town bar vibe to go for lunch!

The quality of the snow (Powder!) and the runs (groomed and glades!) are fantastic. A bit off of the beaten path, but for a quieter hill, good prices, and the chance to ski 'first tracks' snow well into the day, it's worth it.
