Snow Play
Great low-key family-friendly ski resort, located about 30 minutes up the mountain. With short lift lines, friendly staff, and lots of terrain for a small mountain - Skyline rocks. The views are stunning and if you go mid-week - the slopes are pretty empty. There is a restaurant and rental equipment available.

Dette bør du pakke
Winter Packing
It can get pretty cold here. If you are visiting during the snow season (November - April) be sure to pack warm clothes. It's always a good idea to bring; gloves, a snow jacket, snow pants, snow boots, and a hat. Pro tip - For your comfort and enjoyment we suggest packing slippers for the cold cabin mornings!
At nearly 5000 ft elevation, we can get see a lot of snow, and getting around can be treacherous, it is required to carry chains under winter conditions.
