Pleasant, low-key local hill with mostly moderate terrain and a couple of terrain parks for the tricksters. Two friendly base lodges, one with an excellent small ski shop. Applejack is one of the Northeast's classic woodland cruisers, with plenty of knolls, curves and rolls. If you have a child who's worried about the lifts, go see Will at the beginner's chair. He's one of the best loaders in the world and a landmark in his own right.
