Best time in fresh snow while the mountain made more all day. Day 2 had amazing conditions and the perfect blue bird day. One of my favorite ski weekends ever!

Pretty great mountain, wish it got more snow these days. lifts are often closed because theres not enough snow or wind hold. it can get busy during blackout periods and lift wait Times can be outrageous. mid week and non-blackout days usually rip.
