My January 2025 visit to this resort was a unique experience. Access involves parking in a lower lot and taking a 15-20 minute shuttle ride up a very narrow, winding mountain road. Once at the resort, you purchase lift tickets and, if needed, get fitted for ski boots downstairs before heading up to the ski area to pick up your skis. The service was excellent.

This mountain is perfect for beginners and people who want to practice before hitting bigger mountains to the north. The groom isn’t too steep and the lift staff are very on top of things.
For the more experienced skiers and snowboarders, this mountain doesn’t have too much to offer besides the groom filled with slow beginners, a mogul training area and some ramps/boxes for the...
