A perfectly serviceable Catskills mountain. Enough lifts to keep the wait times low and a varied terrain to make for a fun day of skiing, including a lovely mix of difficulties of glades. Price is reasonable as it is owned by the state, and the surrounding area has a lovely upstate NY charm. Its east coast though, so dont expect powder, and prepare for a decent quantity of ice to keep your speed up.

Nice and comfortable runs from beginner to advanced levels, with well mannered skiers and beautiful views. The cabin is a great spot to rest in between your runs. Good atmosphere all around. Lifts are a bit crowded, but nothing to worry about, the lines move quickly. During the weekdays, early in the day, it is where you will have your best experience.
