The property is across the bus lane from Mountain House facilities. The Peru lift is easy to walk too, while the beginner area is just as close. However, this years lack of snow had the area closed and we have a 7yo we were going to teach to ski. So we had to take the bus over to River Run and the gondola. The green bus stop, which is not that far was ok, however for not being use to the altitude and walking in ski gear made the trudge thru the village to the gondola long/tiring/slow. The 2nd day there the Peru lift opened. The 3rd day my 7yo was good enough to take the Peru lift, which made Slopeside an excellent choice to ski out of.... Now no boots are allowed to be worn in the resort, you heard that right. So our process was to wear our shoes and one person took the boots to the truck (in the heated underground garage) while the other collected the skis from the ski locker on the 1st floor. Then we met at the truck put on boot and exited out the side of the building and walked over to the Peru lift. It may sound worse than it really was but after getting into a routine was not too bad.

The hot tubs were excellent until they were shut down by the Summit Co. red alert and we were able to go to a couple restaurants until these were shut down as well. Having driven, we brought food to cook and the outdoor grills by the hot tubs/deck/fireplace were convenient. Overall a very satisfying trip. BTW, we are going again in March 2021 and staying in the same condo unit. The Mountain House area is a much quieter and calmer area than the River Run area. However, Both areas have their own excellent qualities. Slopeside is one of the closet condos to a lift without breaking the bank.More
