This mountain offers lots of challenging runs, steeps and some nicely groomed trails. My impression is this place is more fun for intermediate and advanced skiers and boarders. If new to the mountain, avail yourself to the tour with the volunteers as they will help you get the best of your first time experience on the mountain. We learned a lot about the history, development and how to get the most fun from the mountain, given the conditions, by going through the tour. We met some great people along the way as well! If it is a flat light day with blowing snow, I would even more strongly recommend using the volunteer service. This mountain can be humbling if the weather is challenging. There is a reason this mountain is legendary!
