Too small for an advanced skiier. Takes no time to get from the top to bottom. Good for beginners, families, learning. It would probably be my first choice, based on my location, if I wanted to teach someone to ski.

Amazing hill! Went night skiing had lots of fun! Wasn’t too busy, lots of runs open. Some blacks were more like blues but fun regardless. Great lighting at night friendly staff lots of hill variation will 100% be coming back.

Small and local resort to Ottawa. Friendly staff and guests. The ski school is busy and ideal for young skiers. The slopes are in good condition but don’t offer much to the experienced user. But I always enjoy my visits.

Very small hill, nothing really challenging for an advanced skier. Great place to learn. I brought my son there to learn and it was easy for him to progress. They even have an old school rope tow! No rfid cards I like that.
