Staying at the Inn is the way to go. Just got back from a trip with nine of us and it was very accommodating. Upgrades are noticeable. Love the mountain. Never any lines and everyone is so friendly. Lots of lifts and runs - never can get bored.

A very nice medium size resort. Enough terrain to keep you discovering new trails for a more than a few visits. Food in lodge a bit pricey for quality. Great day trip for folks who live on the central coast.
