"We did the Sunday chair lift ride and hiked down the mountain. The views up top were fantastic. Packed a picnic lunch to eat when we got back to the lodge. The lift runs out of ski season fall Sundays 10-2, but check the website to confirm it is open. They also sell food for a quick lunch or snack. Lift tickets are not sold in advance."

"Fantastic town mountain for family fun and community. Living local and getting a season pass makes stopping by for a couple hours or the whole day a great time.

"What an awesome experience! Myself, my wife and my five year old spent three days here this past weekend. We each arrived with one lesson under our belt so essentially brand new. The staff and the instructors were great, it had more of a family atmosphere with a personal touch. The magic carpet was a bit small and crowded but the bunny hill was awesome. It starts with a gentle wind through the woods and ends with a steep dropoff...."
