Snow conditions pretty bleak but with the cold weather the snow making machines are at full capacity. The main Gold chair is down due to the lift cable being replaced (why wasn't this done in the summer you may ask?) The runs that are open are decent and no rocks. This place doesn't get much natural snowfall. Grass and shrubs still showing right up to the top where there is no snow making. Steepest terrain is closed due to Gold chair being down. We have had a ski pass here for three years only because of the kids being in the racing program. Otherwise, anyone with some skiing ability will want more challenge further west. Very cheap family pass rates can make the lower mountain green/blue terrain packed on weekends but Gold chair is usually quick to load. The glades off Gold chair are fantastic if you have a natural powder dump (pretty rare for this hill).
