We went for a day of skiing since it's about an hour drive from the DC area, and there are a lot of restaurant options on the way up and back to help not spend much on food. While there I lost a ski on the lift, and the ski patrol was great at getting me back down the mountain and getting the ski back. They, as well as the lift operators, are all incredibly nice and love to share stories and make you feel welcome. The shorter lofts have very easy slopes. After you've skied a few times you'll be on the longer lifts to the somewhat harder green slopes. If anything I wish there were more semi-difficult green slopes, or something between that and blue, as the blues seem much harder. But really we just need to improve ourselves. Overall this was a great trip.
