Heavenly Sneeuwverwachting

We are season pass subscribers for five years. I love this mountain. I love the varied terrain, trees, backside, views and warm sunny days with fresh snow. I typically need nothing more than shell garments and a sweater, not your typical cold ski mountain. The staff are very customer friendly and know how to make things special. I am an older expert skier, spend time with my wife on the blue groomers which are usually in great shape, but love getting to the bumps and trees. I also like that there are challenging trails available whether on the lower, mid, or upper elevations, unlike many ski areas where the challenging terrain is only at upper elevations. There is always something new and challenging and it is easy to get away from the crowds, particularly when the entire mountain is in full swing. Ski shop prices are reasonable and service excellent. On the negative side, the mountain could use a better transport lift from CA to Nevada and more direct ski opportunity from NV to CA, avoiding cat trails and such. While the lodges are nice, I believe that the food service has stumbled over the past years, and the once great offerings of lamb, elk, buffalo, ahi burgers etc. has disappeared and the replacements are not uniformly excellent. Hopefully, service will be restored for the 13-14 season.
