We had a wonderful stay here. Staff was great everywhere on the grounds. Food & service was good, a little on the higher price said. We did have the majority of our meals there as the drive to town isn't the closest. The slopes were well groomed. My son and I spent the entire day on them. The rooms were decent and clean. We are planning to return next year for more skiing fun.

A friend of mine went there to enjoy Galena's Illumination of the city. We spent our off time at the resort and as a resort I really thought it would have WiFi TV. But this was not the case, very disappointed.

Jesse in the restraunt was awesome. He waited on us Friday dinner, Saturday night and had a quick conversation Sunday morning at breakfast. Very attentive, friendly and all around nice guy. Hotel needs a elevator as carrying luggage up 2 flights of stairs sucks! Hotel rooms and hotel itself needs to be upgraded to the 2000's. 2nd time we stayed here and probably will be back but will request room on 2nd floor over looking the ski slopes.
