Hiked the fossil trail

Lots and lots of fossils to view and take pictures of if you take the time to look. The views are spectacular but could have been better as the horizon was filled with smoke from local wildfires and stifled the views.

Great Hike on the Ridge

Because we had winter season passes, they entitled us to 2 free summer lifts on the Timber chair so we could access the Ridge walk. This is not a 'walk in the park' but a thoroughly enjoyable hike, involving cables at one point, to Polar...More

Amazing snow and terrain, tired services

A great resort with some of the world's finest terrain and snow. If you are all about modern lifts and fancy eats, maybe stick to Aspen.

Great anytime but sweet for sure right now! In regular years March was the historic month for the most snow but with 37 feet of snow a year every month is fun! Enjoy!
