A great way to start your day off on the resort is by taking advantage of a free mountain tour, offered daily at 10:30am. They last about an hour and a half and welcome all level skiers and snowboarders to get to know the mountain a little better.

There is no lack of activities for the whole family. Kid's programs on the ski hill are well known and highly respected. Ski school classes are small so that kids can receive the individual attention they need to improve and have fun.
