Good slope good snow. The lift staffs are so friendly. Good to go during weekdays when you literally have the whole slope for yourself. Will come back.
Great slopes and view. Very few people on weekdays. Just know that the restaurant at the hotel closes by 2pm. You'll have to go up the first chair lift for the next restaurant that closes by 3pm.
Had the experience of a lifetime! Can't wait go back !!
Small hotel but good meal at dinner
