Visitor Reviews of Buttermilk


federico danza from Argentina writes:

Buttermilk is THE place to learn how to do everything. There is a great environment seen from the lifts and slopes. After a storm powder is great and it has very good secret spots. Very good for kids and grown ups, the only matter is the free style skiers and snowborders that don't care about the other riders. Hope you enjoy it.
