Overall 3.8 Based on 16 votes and 4 reviews
Likely the worst run ski resort in the Sierras. They will always be the first to close and last to open in any significant snowfall. While others are skiing at nearby resorts you will be skiing doing nothing. There is a reason there are short lift lines as discussed in the other reviews, it's because most people don't want to risk showing up and being told they are not opening because of some new excuse. Go elsewhere if you actually want to ski when it snows.
