Review of Vernon Valley/ Great Gorge Ski...

Came here with 40 students. Staff were super nice, friendly, and professional. However it was packed full of people, most of whom were on edge and a bit rude because of how crowded it was and the extra long lines. (But that is to he expected on a Sunday)

A lot of great stuff here though. Food is pretty decent, fireplace, firepit outside (one of the benches was a bit dangerous to sit on because it was broken. Sit on it and you slide towards the pit.) And several slopes to ski on. I didnt go skiing but my students had a good time and said the slopes were good.

3 stars because people were allowed to leave their ski equipment and bags on tables inside and go skiing. Made it hard for others to get a table to eat, rest, and warm up.

If you are just here with family, friends or a group and not here to ski, there's no place to really get away from the crowds and relax so go early to get a spot before it fills up with equipment and bags. Again, there is a bar area and a restaurant to sit in, but I was told I could only sit there if I was going to order something.

Some people were nice enough to share their tables though.

Overall.... great place to ski but go during the week to skip the crowds.

Update: sat at a table that had equipment sitting on it for hours with no one there. People came back after I had been sitting there for awhile and tried to bully me away. I asked to share but they weren't happy to share with one person. (Students were all out skiing)Now the woman is sitting on the table and rocking it to get me to move.
