A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I have been coming here since I was a kid. When I was younger, I remember the snow conditions being much better in recent years. They have been terrible. Last year I ordered tubing tickets for my family and they had to cancel due to conditions. They told me at the time that I would be able to use the credit towards another session. However, there were no other sessions last year that I could make. This year I try to use that credit and they said I could not because it was not within the same year. On another note. I recently took my family snowboarding there to teach my son. We ended up going up to the top where a quarter of the trail down to the left of the mountain was completely rock solid ice. I’m not exaggerating. It was virtually impossible to board on not to mention we had to wait over an hour in line for our rental, which dug into our eight hour pass. In my opinion this place has gone downhill over the years and I do not think I will be returning.

Took my kids tubing. They ended up having to wait 20 minutes each time to go down . In the time we paid for they went down maybe five times. They were very disappointed. There needs to be another magic carpet or they have to not sell as many tickets for each time slot. Voice this to one of the staff members and their only solution was to rest in the warm hut and buy food. Also, the weight staff in the restaurant is a joke. After putting our order in, we never saw our waitress again until she brought us our check an hour later. We had such a great experience with their Halloween event, but after this we will not be back. And I will make sure to tell everyone the same.

Not good once you are past a beginner level. Go to any other mountain and there ‘blacks’ are greens

Stay away at all costs. Absolute dumpster fire from the top of management/owners all the way down to the teenage staff. Owner Shaun Hayes is overbearing while also not having any idea how to run the area. He constantly berates and belittles his staff. Workers are undertrained and the toxic environment has led to high turnaround. Snowblowing/grooming is the worst I have ever seen - these clowns can hardly keep one short, flat run open with frankly embarrassing conditions. Mountain has not been fully open in years. Whoever is driving the grooming machines simply have no idea what they are doing, leaving enormous chunks of ice and ruts in the trails. Even after 18” of natural snow fell in the days leading up to their planned opening, rocks and patches of dirt were exposed in the snow.
Completely overpriced for the quality, especially if you have to rent equipment. Lighting for night skiing is spotty if present at all - one of the lights on Dragon’s Back has been out for weeks since they opened and no one seems to care. Lifts are slow and sound like they are going to fall apart at any moment.
Information posted online is genuinely false, especially anything regarding conditions. Report will claim 2-3 feet of snow that doesn’t exist. Trails that are listed as having snowmaking and lights like 747 and Shredwood in reality have none. Also the 747 lift has been gutted and isn’t even equipped with a motor, why is it listed on the trail map? Festival double chair often reported as open when it isn’t running, even with longer lines than ever before forming due to the surge in popularity of local skiing during the pandemic.

I go several times a year. Taught my son how to ski here. We had been to other places much larger but this was the best place to teach or be a beginner. Not bad for intermediates as well. Also, great tavern and night life, live music, parties, etc. FUN!

Not worth it at any price these days.

This is a nice little mountain great for beginners and those looking to improve their skills without having to travel hours at a time. The new ownership is committed to making PR a destination location and based on what I'm seeing, I'm confident people will be talking about this place for years to come!
