This is an interesting place with a family, or for a casual afternoon. They often get more new snow than Kissing Bridge or Holiday/Holimont -- but always check. Good woods trails and a couple of good open slopes. Runs seem longer than Peak/Peak --nice steep top, easy runout. Main chairlift runs fast. 23 miles from Dunkirk NY, less from Bemus Point. If you count vertical skied per hour, this is a very good place. If you want vertical feet per run, this is a bit short at 430 feet, but the food is good, and reasonable. Decent bar (fire in winter only !!) Only problem: no senior discounts, but maybe that will happen in the future.
