Skiing

The skiing/boarding is world class. Steep and challenging, with an excellent family area. It's not just for winter, either. The gondola runs during the summer. On the backside of the mountain, Memorial Highway offers incredible views of the valley, and takes you to a great lookout up top.

This is the best ski rental place in the area. And while it’s faster to get your skis tuned/waxed at the mountain, these guys are the best. They also have a great selection of skis and ski clothing for sale.
