Great little spring break ski trip.

The hotel check in staff were efficient and cordial. The room was clean in most of the common areas (places like edges against wall may need a good vacuum.) The room was very hot. It is winter, so I thought maybe the previous guest left the heat on high. It took opening a window and turning the unit to cold high all night to make the room comfortable sleeping temp of around 67/68. The pool area was nice and clean. The lodge was quiet which was great for sleeping. The ski/ski out location at the lodge was good. It was just a short walk through the parking lot to trail access. My 6 yo was able to make the trip carrying his skis and wearing ski boots. We did also use the shuttle service to the ski ticket window. The driver was great. He helped us load our gear and explained the process. Was pleased with the weekend. We will be returning to this lodge in the future.
