Lots of steep and technical terrain. It's pretty much the front side and back side of a large open bowl. Although there is terrain for all ability levels, the resort is definitely for the more advanced an expert skier or snowboarder. The lift on the main side basically access giant one wall of terrain from different angles and allow the rider to choose the difficulty and aspect. Along this wall there are many different ways that to desend and they are all great. The resort is littered with little shoots and rock features that make it a lot of fun. There is also plenty of terrain to access by hiking or by traversing from the top of a lift. On the side of the main Resort there's a beginner area that mostly consists of where the bowl flattens out.There isn't a lot of Hotel lodging but a lot of condos. There are only a few places to eat but they're all good. All of the lifts are fixed grip except for one. This place is excellent on a powder day or if you're just looking to ski some really good challenging Terrain. If you are a fan of cornice drops this place is an absolute must. This is a classic little Ski Resort that offers a ton of fun in one package. I am a huge fan and I cannot wait to go back.
