Loved the resort. Kids liked the snow tubing the most. The ski slopes were awesome. Went for Spring Break and can’t wait to go again next year. Traveled from Texas and loved the fact that there is snow in the Spring somewhere lol

We booked beginner group ski lessons for group of 9 towards end of the season (March 22) and overall happy with the skiing experience. The shuttle service was really helpful in getting in and out of the resort. The inclusion of rentals was a plus and picking up was smooth. Few things that probably could have been better: - The no refund policy made it hard for us to make a call on booking for such a large group. Especially since it was doubtful there will be enough snow - The day we did the sessions was warmer and it was more slushie than snow towards the second half
