"Great place to learn to ski. Ski rental and lift tickets for three were $72 total for beginner hill. Tow rope is great because you can get so many runs in."

"Fun place. Not great with a newer snowboarder on a busy day, though. The free-for-all that is the rope tow area gets a little crazy. The staff was great."

"Great for a tow rope only hill! Plenty of ropes, quick, and multiple routes to not be bored. *Pro tip: Get some cheapy lined leather gloves from Menards and leave your good ones at home."

"Great spot for beginners. The only issue we ran across was that there were several older kids that obviously didn't need to be on the bunny hill, but continued to utilize the hill and would jump in front of all the people waiting in line to use the tow rope. Not much the facility is going to do about that unless they want to pay for a babysitter unfortunately."
