Small, friendly resort. Busy on weekends , but very quiet on weekdays and evenings. There is one pub with limited weekday hours. We werent able to try it as it was closed mid-week.

It is alright because the area is in New York (the mountains arent really large until a near 5 hour drive. Its alright for the climate. Its great for New York but not for the rocky mountains or alps(I have skied both). Its all around decent but they dont have much off piste but there is a way to get to some good off piste just got to hike a bit. The loges and restaurants are good and the staff is good. Ive been getting a season pass for around 4 years.and its alright
