About the Resort:
This is one of the highest ranked ski resorts in the world and considered to be the ultimate destination by many travelers. Once you visit, it's easy to see why so many people return here year after year. With quality service, excellent trails and low priced lift tickets, this is one of the few resorts in the area that combines a great value with some of the best skiing in the country.
What You Need to Know:
The resort opens up during the last week in October and stays in operation until the end of April. Their daily hours are from 9am to 4pm. There are currently fourteen lifts in operation, which are capable of moving more than 17,000 people an hour so waiting in is normally not an issue here.
The entire resort stretches out over 2400 acres and there are many different activities besides skiing that the whole family can enjoy. Snowboarding is quite popular here and there are terrain parks in addition to the normal runs.
Tips for Beginners:
Avoid Hell's Delight at all costs, as the name suggests, it's only for pros. However, you'll be able to find plenty of trails here that are more than suitable for beginners. Ski lessons are held throughout the day and they are reasonably priced. We found the instructors to be top notch and very patient.
This is a very family friendly resort and there are lessons geared towards children, as well as adults. You'll also be able to take advantage of some great discounts on lessons, tickets and gear.
