Great hill for intermediate riders looking for a simple run. With a hill elevation of roughly 300 metres, the runs are lengthy enough to provide great practice but short enough to not tire you out. Since it is early in the year, They shut down hills alternately for an hour to make fresh snow. The hill is quite empty around noon time until around 5pm, with little to no wait to acess a lift. Great hill but lift tickets cost $56 American so its on the pricey side for its size.

Small resort with only a few lifts and handful of runs. There are better options in the area. Would only recommend for beginners or someone that lives or works nearby. Has probably the worse condition rental skis I've ever seen.

The terrain parks are amazing- love everything they choose to build- definitely a perfect place for snowboarders, but not the most family friendly.
