Full review

Just back from a week (Sat - Sat), and was hugely disappointed. Stayed at the Snowdance Club which we traded thru Interval (we traded our lock-off in Orlando for the two bedroom). Rooms fair, bathrooms poor. The worst part was that, even though there there were FOUR primo nights for snowmaking (after a VERY warm and rainy Friday), they never made snow the whole week we were there. On top of that, the terrain for intermediates and beginners was really limited, and got boring. The high speed quad runs up to terrain that only confident intermediates can handle ("Holy S&5#, this is Blue" said my wife.) The skiing lesson for my 7 year old was OK, the boarding lesson for my intermediate 10 year old a joke. "The instructor has only been boarding for two months, and fell down more than I did" reported my son. The ultimate "dig" is that, although we were staying in a ski-in/out resort, we decided to drive 30 minutes to Okemo, twice! Just no commitment to a good skiing experience - VERY DISAPPOINTING! I'll never ski there again.
