Reviews

It was really fun to get a group there. It was always simple and fast. A little pricy though but it is worth it. It can feel crowded at times but it's usually fine. Friendly staff, food is expensive, the main lift is super fast, but the other ones are pretty slow compared.

Excellent resort, great runs for all levels of skiers/boarders. The ski-in ski-out option with The Lodge Hotel on site is very convenient. Will be back. Would recommend

Giants Ridge is always a blast! The runs are super fun, the lifts are fast with usual short lift lines, and the terrain park is always dialed! 10/10
