Buen lugar para visitar y también para vivir.

Long runs with limited lift lines but a lot of the same type of terrain across the mountain. The limit snow pack available reduced the skiable area, but I've been here in heavy snow years and still feel the run variation is limited. Lots of options to eat and drink around the mountain all were outrageously priced. This is the main reason for three stars. Otherwise, maybe a 3.5. The resort could invest in some new lifts. The equipment was aging.

Very nice ski area with Bald mountain mainly for intermediate or advanced. Great vertical drop (more than 3000ft), runs perfectly groomed, but also a lot of possibility for powder. Very good lifts, with some really safe, new, and advanced, with automatic footrest, triangular ski support (good also for snowboard, but safe for ski), and safety bar: that means they pursue safety (I uploaded a pic of this lift, I hope it will become the "standard")! The "plaza" at the top of the mountain is great, with a wonderful relaxing view 360 degrees. Also in this case, safe because there is a lot of space for people arriving and organizing skiboots or jackets before the downhills (a lot of options with long runs). Beginners have a good place in Dollar Mountain, 2 miles away. Also, Dollar Mountain, despite it limited vertical drop, offers many powder options for safe, but fun, downhills for intermediate skiers.

We enjoyed the gondola ride, and a little hike on the top.

We were here in the summer. Absolutely gorgeous views. Can't wait to come back for skiing.

As of now, only a handful of slopes are open, but the mountain is nice and not very crowded. The personnel is very friendly here. There is also a nice walking trail around.

One of the greatest resorts you can ever ski at with a very kind and helpful staff. I’ve skied here for 15 years and I always love coming back.

Snow not required...........Downhill Mountain Biking was a Thrill!

Before this I had ridden on lots of logging roads and trails here and there, but this was my first time taking my bike up a ski lift and then downhill riding down - what a thrill! I had some good crashes learning to navigate banked turns and then trying to speed off the mountain when lightening started was a little scary, but overall I have fallen in love with a new activity! The facilities here are top notch. The lodge where you purchase the lift tickets is beautiful. The customer service was good, although the sales person actually tried to talk me out of doing it - saying you have to be a really good rider. I didn't find that to be true, most of the trails were pretty easy. Yes I crashed, but I push myself pretty hard to learn things and I could have babied it on the turns, but I wanted to get them down the right way. The dining lodge at the top has a nice view and the bartender Matt, was very friendly and informative. We ended up altering our road trip based on an area he told us about and it ended up being our favorite camping of the trip! Overall this is a really fun summer activity for people with riding experience - definitely on my repeat list!
