I grew up at this mountain & it has changed a lot. The terrain is good with some good slack country options, & a decent terrain park. This is a local ski area that has gotten too big for its britches. Going on weekends is a crowded nightmare, & parking is a dwindling resource as the sport gains popularity. Getting there after 8 often means parking at Yodelin, a few miles east & taking the shuttle; if this happens & there are multiple people in your car, drop other humans & gear off first, then just one person needs to take the shuttle without gear.

The center lodge, Granite Peaks, is the newest & nicest & will be the most crowded. The breakfast burritos are quite good.

The East lodge is the least crowded & has the most bathrooms & lockers. The pizza & taco spots are good.

The West lodge has repairs & rentals & is the home of the foggy goggle which occasionally has live music.
