Still our favorite mountain. Great views, great skiing, friendly staff. The kind of ski resort I grew up with in the 80's. Always a great day! Everyone is so helpful and makes for great family...

Had so much fun here and made so many memories. Great trails ranging from safe and slow to challenging and exciting. Ski lifts are great, they have handle bars to pull down. There are conveniently bathrooms/outhouses all over the place. Great ski patrol, nice prices, and amazing views. Cannot think of anything else I would look for in a ski resort.

This is a great family type ski area. It is not a resort... The check in / pass area was a bit slow, but given the special times we are in, I understand. The equipment rental is great. George and the team are very experienced in fitting your boots and setting up the ski bindings. George knows his stuff & is super friendly! Thanks to my instructor, Gary, for really teaching my granddaughter and I. As a real beginner, he had my GD skiing very well, doing Christie turns, so fast! He is what a ski instructor should be. Thank you all for a great time together. We will be back as soon as we can. Capt Gary.
