Took my 16 year old son skiing there with some friends (all newbies). It was a 44 degree day, and the base was pretty decent from some recent snow and plenty of man made. It was the Sunday before Christmas. I thought it would be way more crowded, but everything flowed smoothly. Ticket purchase staff, lift operators, coffee shop personnel.....everyone was friendly. I hadn't skied in about 20 years, but was able to pick it up quickly skiing the easy slopes, and then move up from there. By the end of the day the kids were skiing blue runs, and didn't want to leave. Would love to plan a return trip soon.
