The resort’s second mountain, Peaked Mountain, is reserved for snowcat powder skiing. The visitors may ski 3,000 acres, 2,800 feet of vertical and unsurpassed scenery and snow conditions.
This resort is a place where you can bring the kids and everyone will have a great time playing and skiing. There is the Kid's Club, 2 months to 5 years that has its own log cabin and spends time doing indoor activities as well as ski instruction. There's the all new Powder Scouts Program for ages 6 to 14.
If you want to take a break from skiing, you may want to venture into Yellowstone by snowcoach, snowmobile or cross-country skis. Guests can also take a sleigh ride into a herd of 7,000 wintering elk on the National Elk Refuge in nearby Jackson.
