The location was perfect for skiing. The onsite restaurant food was slightly above average. Good ambiance and staff was attentive and friendly. Crystal the bartender was great. The pool area could use some more chairs and tables. Pool towels were in short supply. The bathroom only had shampoo, conditioner and bar soap for sink so bring your own. Overall nice place to stay and would stay again.
