General Comments/Likes

This is a great mountain for intermediate and expert skiers. They often have the most snow, by far, in Colorado. It is family run and has that small area feel, but is a big mountain with a lot of hike-to terrain that is well worth the 10-30 minute effort. There is no “shopping” other than the rental shops, no dining other than the cafeteria and no lodging other than the back seat of your car. Remote, so even a week after no new snow, I was finding untracked powder with only short hikes.

Dislikes

Relatively short runs. The hike to terrain is great, but the runout long and flat. Snowboarders will have a tougher time on many of the traverses in the expert and remote terrain areas at this resort.
