This skiing mountain is so close that it's hard for us to stay away. I remember coming here when it was Doe and it's unrecognizable. The lodge is beautiful. While hardly brand-new, the building is in excellent shape. It can't be easy to maintain a building full of people with ski boots, but the lodge is beautiful. The mountain itself has a great variety of slopes. There are plenty of beginner to intermediate slopes as you would expect of a mountain this far south, but they have a few steep black-diamonds with bumps if you want to try something more challenging. The only down-side is that it is popular and we have driven here only to see huge lines and drive back home.
