Small resort offering mainly night skiing. Ot may be a vail resort, but still feels local. Plenty of nearby restaurants and your day pass works at jack frost as well.

Big boulder has some super fun night riding, but overall the place is super limited. Considering the double entry to big boulder and Jack Frost, the tickets are worth the price for beginners. The terrain parks at big boulder are the main draw, and the combination of night riding and terrain parks can be fun.
