Cat skiing on grey mt for $10. Can’t Beat it. Also try big red cats. Great terrain and well run. Can get 13-15000 vertical. Red shutter inn though homey has very thin walls
The skiing was amazing on our trip. Couldn’t have had a better time. I highly suggest checking out apres ski partying in Rafters Bar while here its quite the time!
Great time on the mountain. I would definitely recommend checking out Red Mountain.
Surprised how good this place is, and how inexpensive.
