I go skiing here once a week and I really like the Hotel up there, it's really nice to take a break and have hot coffee and enjoy the day here :))

I think it's a very easy slope and they can maybe add some more utilities in it but overall the location is a blessing.

Sam

Stayed at the resort's hotel last year, it was amazing at nights you can't go far from hotel but at clear nights you have million stars to look at outside :))
