I like the ski-in, ski-out (after a very short hike). And if you're not even up for a short walk, there's an on-demand shuttle service. I also like having a restaurant and bar on the premises so you don't have to venture out in the cold to eat or drink. I also discovered that the gift shop has convenience food items tucked in coolers in the back.

We found out when we checked in that the pool and hot tub were not working so they didn’t charge us for the resort fee which means I didn’t have to pay for something I wanted. I never got any compensation for that loss of resort facilities that I went there for

I had a great ski weekend with stunning views and a welcoming, professional front desk staff. However, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing. Since they only clean rooms after check-out, we arrived to find crumbs on the desk and floor, a yellow stain on the sheet, and a brown stain on the carpet. The entryway flooring even stained my white socks brown, prompting us to scrub it ourselves with Clorox and room towels. It seems like staffing may be an issue, but attention to detail in room cleaning is definitely needed. Despite this, the staff was accommodating and friendly, and the location made for a fantastic ski experience.
