Nice laid back resort with good skiing
Unfortunately we did not have great weather for our 2 days of skiing here. First day the snow was good, but the entire mountain was in a cloud and the 2nd day it was so warmed that it rained all day. We loved the lay out and the relaxed vibe this resort has. Easy to figure out and a lot of terrain for all levels of skiing. There is really no on mountain food options, so the base is where we ate. Our best meal was at “ The Rusty Edge “ right by the Elk lift. Parking is free and easy. The resort is an easy 3 mile drive away from the town. Lockers available to rent. A lot of people just gear up in the parking lot and head to the slopes, all the lifts are right at the base. Super easy.

Fun hill, Terrible Signage
Came with friends (3 couples, 1 single, 35-40s, one 3 yr old) for an extended weekend over the BC long weekend. No new snow, but the runs were nicely groomed. Only really negative is that the signage on the hill is terrible. As someone who doesn’t know the terrain, this made things really difficult. A constant fear of leading my friend down a hill way beyond her comfort level is never a relaxing time. However, if they fixed this, I’d recommend the hill, especially for groups with varied ski skill sets. There are lots of options for every level, and everyone was happy with the different rubs they were able to do each day.
