Each resort caters to certain types of skiers and boarders. There is a shuttle that frequently runs between both resorts (which are about 1 mile apart) and your lift ticket entitles you to go back and forth between each resort.Both resorts have ski schools. Expect large crowds during holiday periods, but both resorts do not oversell tickets, so overcrowding on the mountain usually isn't an issue. The chairlift attendants are all very helpful, especially with young children. Don't be afraid to ask them to slow down the chair if you're a beginner or have children in tow. Reservations are highly recommended for all ski lessons. Private lessons are available. The price of a lesson, either private or group is well worth the money to assure a safe and enjoyable experience! « less
