  • Perfect! Start with our First-Timer Family Package—lessons, rentals, and lift tickets in one bundle. Most of our guests are beginners or intermediates.

  • Not likely. We have 29 runs with clear progression paths. Families return for years as skills develop—beginner-friendly doesn't mean beginner-only.

Day-Of Logistics

Terrain & Skill Levels

  • We're honest—if you're looking for extreme terrain or 100+ runs, we’re not your mountain. We're perfect for beginners through solid intermediates. Or pros that want to escape the crowds and experience what skiing used to feel like. Our guests value quality over quantity and uncrowded runs over endless options.

  •  You can ski every run if you want, but most families focus on progression and comfort rather than checking boxes. Our terrain supports 3-5 years of skill development.

  • Not yet! But we intend to build a little one in early 2026. And as our focus is family-friendly skiing and skill development, this new terrain park will cater to this.
