Full review

The Basin is a legend that doesn't require all the bells and whistles of gondolas, and fancy lodges. If you ski this mountain, chances are that you are there for the terrain. Great big mountain feel only on a smaller scale. With the old school chairs, wind, cold and flat light, it helps people keep driving west. Please don't change a thing!
