Awesome but outdated 11/10/2005

It s an awesome resort. as pepole have said before, it s a challenge and it s got a lot of a local feel and it s user friendly. the only drawback is their lifts. they re so damn old and slow. it seems like it takes forever to get up, and if you re a good skier/rider, it takes no time to get down if you re just doing some speed runs down the blues. by the way, their blues is what you d normally find as blacks at Breck or Keystone. The east wall is amazing if you get to it as soon as it opens. 46 degree steeps of pure fun and powder. especially if you hike the shoots and gap the lower traverse line on the way down. It s a fun mountain enjoyable even if you go on your own. Pros: Free close in parking, great beer selection, challenging runs Cons: old lifts, slow lifts more
