I always make the 2.5 hour drive from my house in the snow and for bike season. Bathrooms are always clean. Friendly staff. I bring my 5 year old with me and she loves this place. Wish it was closer to home

Came here for some family snow fun. Did some skiing and snow boarding. Got here early, beat the rush. A lot of fun, not as crowded as Tahoe, and only 2 1/2 hours from the Bay Area. We stayed in the area for the week, but could come here for just a day trip.

Love the chili fries in the Creekside Lodge! I'd drive up just to eat that pile of pure love!
