Recreation & Surroundings

Best for
This resort suits skiers and snowboarders who want true ski-in/ski-out convenience, given its position directly across from the lift, as well as outdoor enthusiasts drawn to the surrounding trailheads, Nordic center, and scenic passes like Kebler and West Maroon.
