Steep skiing. Lots of expert terrain. Blue runs here would be considered to be blacks elsewhere. You need to take a 14KM access road up to the resort from the town of golden. Due to a one way bridge present at the beginning: it might take 20-25 minutes to get up.

Major complaint is around the lifts. At the base there's a single chairlift and a gondola. The chairlift gets you just under halfway up so most people go for the gondola. I was there on a weekday and it was pretty dead: yet there were still 3-5 minute waits to get on the gondola. Can only imagine the line ups on a busy weekend. The "It's a Ten" green run from the top is a pretty good beginners run with plenty of smaller blue/black "shortcuts" along the way. However if you have problems with turning and speed control this isn't the place for you.

Only other complaint was that the ice rink was pretty dinky.
