Full review

I have been here twice and the terrain is pretty nice. For those in the east that crave some cliff dropping they have some of it here. A few decent but short glades, but decently long runs. I like how the mountain is situated so that when the winds do pick up, you can choose another mountain to ride to avoid them.

The top of the mountain is often in the clouds and snowy so powder is common. At the top they have a cafe in a yurt (a warm tent buried in snow). The views to the south are beautiful on a clear day and you can see 4 or so other ski hills from the 4km run.
