We had a great time in this beautiful snowy oasis. How was fully packed with all the amenities. Unfortunately having no hot water was a slight problem. There was a power outage before our arrival and pipes got frozen. The property manager was on top of it and helped as much as he could to get the problem solved. Thank god for the jacuzzi so we could defrost and relax after days of snowboarding.
