REVIEWS | ↑ top |
Great for close-by skiing
Pros:
Close.
Really long bunny slope.
convenient parking
Inexpensive
Convenient after-school hours tickets run 2-6pm
Cons:
Only one lift and it is 2-person, so hard to go with 2 kids if you are alone
The only green slope takes you to a place that is far from the chair-lift and you have to walk back to the chair lift from there. But, the blue slopes are relatively easy.RELATED LINKS | ↑ top |
