Reviews

If you are a BEGINNER and they don't have the chair lift open I DO NOT recommend. The staff is polite but did not inform that the poma lift has some bumps (its a lift you take in a standing position with skis/board on snow and it pulls you). It makes it tough to ride and since many athletes train here they are not friendly if you are having problems with it. If chair lift is open im sure it would be fine. For intermediate and above I recommend. unfortunately feel it was a waste for me without the above information and the location caters to athletes more than people going to have a good time.
