I really love heavenly when the snow is good. The expert terrain all around mott and killebrew is suitably challenging and hosts a wide variety of cornices and jumps and certainly the Y. Pistes are clear and wide with some great tree skiing in the middle with lifts that when there is snow are kept open very often and rarely fail. Staff are incredibly friendly and will always help kids getting on the lifts. Great resort for gnarly terrain chasers and family trips!

Nice variety of runs, lift line wait fairly short (weekday) Good choices of groomed runs. Biggest downside is cost of lift ticket
