Terrain
There's plenty of snowmaking firepower to cover the mountain's trails if nature doesn't cooperate, and about 75% of the 36 trails are protected by the snow guns. Six lifts serve a wide variety of terrain, from long, easy beginner trails to some fairly steep stuff on the lower half of the mountain. Bump runs, glades, and even a small bowl will keep better skiers and riders happy while intermediates have their own pod of trails (and even a couple of glades) to keep them happy. The mountain's 1072 feet of vertical is the state's second greatest. A terrain park, tubing operation, and cross-country trails round out the winter recreation possibilities at the resort. But its location in a state park means you can go snowmobiling on a network of marked trails, or challenge your cross-country skills on the park's hiking trails or service roads.
Mountain-top lodging and dining are available, and there's also an alpine village and conference center. The region's many small towns offer more lodging, dining, and shopping choices.
