Went for a night ski during a weekday and the snow was slightly slushy because the temperature was high that day, but besides that it was great(no ice). The size of the skiable area is not that large, but there is enough black runs to keep you entertained for a while. Overall, it seems more geared to more beginner levels. There were very few people and the staff was really nice. If your are looking for a quick ski for a low price, than this is a great option, but if you want more, there are better options close by like Targhee.

Lovely, gorgeous in the fog, which cut my irrational slope fear, very friendly and safe feeling. Great affordable teachers. Present and friendly medics. Easy to get around. Beautiful from the parking lot.

Targee is a great resort with everything you can ask for in a ski resort. Quiet during the week but busy on the weekends. Gets lots of snow and great terrain. Easily my overall favorite resort.
