There are a lot of green and blue runs on this mountain, it is the perfect beginners spot. The instruction offered here is also great. Even though I have been skiing for years I still love to spend a day on this moutain.

If you're an expert, don't go here. And if it's exceptionally warm, go to an Aspen resort that has higher elevation. But if you're a beginner, intermediate skier or just want to cruise, I highly recommend at least a day here. The staff is great and the mountain beautifully groomed.

Beautiful views, friendly, professional service. We took our teens who are novice skiers, and they loved it.

Its great: hardly no one on the trails. So you can speed to your heart's delight on the Tiehack runs. And now it has a high speed Quad to get you back up quickly. Love it.

I love the variety here - from the long trails, the small trails in the woods, the fun terrain areas, the restaurant with the Mongolian BBQ at the top with the view of Maroon Bells... the fun rock and roll at the lifts... all great!

My husband took the beginners' magic and had a terrific ski instructor (Steen) who was patient, expert, and encouraging, all in one day. By the afternoon, he could ski down the whole mountain, albeit slowly, but safely, and we had a great Colorado ski day with blue skies, packed powder, and no lines.
