Boreal is a great place for anyone looking to learn to ski or ride, or for those looking to escape the Disney-land feel of a lot of larger corporate resorts. Boreals down to Earth vibe, easy access off a major highway, and amazing terrain parks are what sets it apart.

Boreal Mountain has the best lift tickets prices in my opinion, going from $89-$140 and once a month lift ticket from $25.
I believe these are great values comparing it other resorts that lift tickets goes up to $200-$250. It is also a beautiful mountain and they close at night which makes a great experience and make your money worth skin or snowboarding for more time.
Food is very limited, in case you want to go out for lunch or dinner you will have to drive plenty small amount of miles to get something good.
