"Love this ski resort for kids learning how to ski/snowboard. They have 3 carpet runs that have very gradual slopes, perfect for beginners. The kids pricing for passes is very fair. We always have so much fun here!"

"What can I say? It’s my home Ski Hill. For those from the East Coast, we have great and nice lifties. The new owners are putting money into the place and you can see it. Fantastic job by the snowmaking and grooming crew and keeping the place open and in decent conditions in this challenging no – snow time."

"Great family oriented operation. I've. Been coming here for over years 45 years. Staff people are all so nice. Ski patrol is well trained and friendly. Food in the lodge is pretty good and they have a decent selection. Need to get up early to get a decent parking spot. Staff will greet you at the lot and tell you where to park..if you get there too late you get to park along highway 12."

"This mountain is hands down my favorite place to ride. It’s always a guaranteed good time! fun with a laid-back atmosphere that feels real, not pretentious. Staff are amazing, always friendly, helpful, and genuinely love what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. What really sets this resort apart is the crowd (or lack of one). Normally no overcrowded choas and it feels like home the moment you arrive. Affordable in comparison to most resorts, welcoming, and consistently..."

"Really love this ski area. Great vibe and the scenery is epic - Mt Rainier right in your face. The snow is great even when it's thin elsewhere. They are on the Indy Pass and restrict the number of tickets each day so it never feels crowded. This is how it should be done, so reserve ahead of time and enjoy the vibe. I have been there for epic powder days and for sunny bluebird hard-pack days and loved both...."

"I’ve been to many ski resorts across the US, and I can say, this is better than nothing. As a snowboarder I bottomed out many times, which sucks! That means the shape of the runs does not give you the downhill energy to keep you moving during all parts. I’ve never had this problem around the US. The lifts and lodge are great, they have kids lessons and a tubing area down the road. If you don’t get there early..."
