We visited on the Friday of the 3 day weekend in February and were expecting slow lines and crowded slopes. The parking lot was full, but even at capacity we never had to wait for a chair. The prices for lift tickets were appropriate in comparison to other similar ski resorts. The terrain is great for experienced skiers and boarders and newbies as well. We didn't eat on the mountain so I can't speak to the food but we did have a drink at the mid mountain hut and at the base lodge apres ski. The mid mountain hut is very small inside so it isn't a good place to try to warm up on a cold day. As our luck had it, our day was nice and sunny and the outdoor area had chairs and music to enjoy with your drink. Apres ski, the base lodge didn't have a great vibe to it.... seemed more like they were going for a fancy restaurant atmosphere than a ski lodge. For parking, we were in our Truck Camper so we utilized their overnight parking area. All vehicles had to have a parking permit in the parking lot and overnight parking for self contained RVs and campers was no additional cost but you had to get a permit from the resort. For skiers and boarders with RVs / trailers, staying on the mountain this way makes the trip more affordable than a hotel, and you can make warm lunch too. This parking area was completely full by end of day Friday. Overall we loved the mountain and will return next ski season!
