They had ski school going on so they kept cutting off everybody at the smaller hill and I was there to teach my three-year-old daughter how to ski and they kept cutting in front of us with eight or 10 people at a time which made it very difficult we got there at 11 AM and till 5 PM and I think we only got probably 10 times up and down the magic carpet because we were waiting so long in addition their card do not work the way they’re supposed to so you have to get it out of your pocket every time and fold it up there if they’re going to switch to the system. They need a system that works properly or go back to the old way so people can actually get what they paid for. The taco food truck outside with absolutely amazing. Also, we did the sky bridge and they were only loading like one in every five lifts of a line took a very long time and then after the sky bridge, we were stuck up on the top or over an hour and a half waiting to get back down set up with many others. We ended up walking and down the hill, despite being paid for the lift. The parking lot was extremely funny for as much as we paid to go there they should be able to fit in a real parking lot..
