Fantastic day skiing at this surprisingly fantastic mountain. My husband and I hadn't gotten a chance to go skiing at our usual bigger mountains in New England or out west. We wanted to hit the slopes but didn't have the time to take a week off. This mountain was recommended by some friends it was a 4 hr drive from Chicagoland. What a pleasant surprise to have several lifts. Wonderfully groomed trails that were challenging.
