Not my favorite mountain and would not be worth going to if you are not within a 2hr radius of the mountain. Runs are very short, steep and generally icy. Most people are from the city and not a local feel if that is what you prefer. Its also a busy and more crowded mountain on and off the slopes with most of the people who go there are beginners to intermediate learners. Again, good for those who are close but not for those who live far away. Theres a 50/50 mix between snowboarders and skiers.

I live in NYC and this tends to be my home mountain as its roughly a two hour drive from the city.
Its incredibly packed on the weekend with tons of families- so i prefer to go midweek. The runs can be a bit icy as to be expected, but I enjoy the technical black diamond runs. There are a few catwalks- places for snowboarders to get stuck- that arent well labeled.
Lifts run quickly and the warming huts are centrally located.

Beginner and intermediate slopes are ok as long as you get there before the crowds. Even then, people are polite and let you pass them. Advanced slopes can get icy at times but fun to ride. Good overall experience. Food is so-so, I recommend bringing something yummy with you if you don't like canteen food, but the soups and drinks there are ok. The slopes need a bit more attention. Good spot for local travelers.
