The snow was great (we came right after a snow storm) and trail options were very good. It felt understaffed though. Sometimes I couldn t even see anyone manning the lifts.

The ski school unfortunately was poorly run and teachers were not helpful. My husband s class never went on the lift. He s been several times and I signed him up just for a refresher but the ski n instructor never even took the class on the mountain.

I tried to sign up my three year old for a lesson and was met with frustration. The girl at the desk said none of the teachers could teach her and to try again the next day. But I couldn t sign her up. A man came out and rudely said they do not teach three year olds and that their website says four and older. There are one or two teachers who can do three year olds but the only one there was booked for the day and I couldn t reserve a spot with the one teacher for the next day either. I just checked the website again it clearly says three and older...

I also tried to sign up my six year old for trax. I failed to even do that. There was no room in the classes, I was told. I ended up getting her a one hour private lesson. I don t feel like she learned anything new though.

Then here was the kicker. I went up to the top of the green run with my oldest (and very proficient) daughter. There was a girl at the top of the run frozen there. Her father had signed her up for a morning lesson. Now she was at the top of the mountain with her aunt and she couldn t get down. I watched her for several minutes as people tried to coax her to start trying. Eventually I asked if she wanted help. So I skied backwards, holding her hands and explained how to start, stop, steer, and look forward. The lesson she had taken apparently had done her no good. I got her half way down when another one of her family members spotted her from the chair lift and said she d be right there and could help her the rest of the way down. So I went on ahead with my own daughter.

Not the best place to learn to ski, unless you bring your own ski teacher with you. The ski school is poorly managed and instructors poorly trained.

Great snow for so far south with a decent amount of terrain. Fun runs and good variety. Just go someplace bigger and more efficient for ski school.
