Family Ski Trip

This was the perfect place and location for us to ski with our family. We were able to walk to the lift even with a 3 and 6 year old. The kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed.

Perfect ski weekend

We had everything we needed to enjoy closing weekend. Clean, comfy and just the right size. Our kids loved catching the “hay ride” to get to the lifts. We were close enough to grab lunch at the condo which was perfect.
