It's a decent resort. There's no cell service. We used walkie talkies. There is wifi. They have a separate ticket fee if you only want to use the huckleberry chair, it's about half price.
They have some microwaves and a few lunch tables in the lower floor of the lodge. Fantastic.
My only complaint that there is no map at the top of either chairlift and signage is genally lacking. Not a problem for experts who can handle any terrain. I found myself escaping from siwash to high noon and oh my god, the most terrifying minute of my life.
Some single black diamonds on this hill would definitely classify as double-blacks on other resorts. Same goes for some green and blue zones. I would say, they don't particularly expect beginners there, had some fast near misses from speedsters behind me because i did a few unexpected turns.
Still, beautiful scenery and backcountry, old school feel. Lots of tree runs. Though it was raining Saturday I still had a great weekend. I would come back for sure, especially on a powder day.
