Reviews

Perfect local mountain and great place to learn to ski. Lots of lifts for such a small resort keeps the crowds at bay. Ski School is top notch and they have lots of after school programs and kid's camps. Good snowmaking coverage makes up for a lack of the natural stuff. Nice variety of terrain for a small resort.

Great resort especially for beginners. The black diamonds are easier than other resorts. When hitting powder it's like no other, best fresh boarding ever! Food is great as well, a little more upscale so you'll be paying quite a bit. Lifts are quick but you'll be waiting in line for some time if you go on a busy day. Day pass pricing is a bit absurd compared to other resorts in the location, there are larger destinations for around the same price. The customer service and people are great, really good sense of community and you can tell the people care! Overall, I'd say my experience was around 7/10. If the pricing was more fair it would definitely be nearer to a 10/10!

Night skiing is a nice addition to the mountain, they also re-groom the trails late in the day for night skiing. Park skiing is pretty limited but late in the season they make big jumps on one of the black diamonds. The food is reasonably priced for a ski hill and isnt bad I was on the ski team for a year and had a great experience, but they block off the left half of one of the black diamonds during race events. They have a double black diamond which has moguls late in the season which is fun
