Wonderful place. Spent numerous days with the family last year. Great place to learn how to ski as it's kind of a beginners hill, with a couple BD's. (black diamond) You can make loads of runs and the lift lines were short. The ride up is about 4 minutes. Go there to get a good workout and have a Family Fun Day. Oh yes, hot chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon were awesome.
