The resort is a scenic, year-round family vacation destination featuring an abundance of snow during winter, numerous adventure activities during summer and a cozy, comfortable and welcoming village every season.
The mountain faces, Vance Creek and Putnam Creek, are blanketed with an average annual snowfall of 23 feet, providing an average snow pack of 245cm (8 ft). The snow here is groomed to perfection with plenty left over for the powder hounds, especially in the 300 acres of open bowl or glade terrain.
The south face, Vance Creek, features predominantly intermediate and novice terrain with a few expert options accessed from the summit.
While the north face, Putnam Creek, is home to some of the most challenging terrain found anywhere. Expert trails plummet through narrow gullies and exhilarating chutes, and there are 11 double black diamond runs.
