Highlights

Simple and easy to play. The slopes get churned pretty quickly though. And the snowcats start grooming about as quickly as the skiers arrive. This is a beginning of the season spot. However, there are lots of near by slopes that are not part of the resort that can be skied and often are skied.

Ascent

Follow the Chair line... Or not.

Descent

Pretty low angle and easy to play ... This is not 4 star attraction, but you'll have fun.

Access/Permits

not required.
