What I liked:
What I disliked: Although groomed trails were advertised, they were not available - in fact, besides the general manager, none of the staff had ever been asked about cross country skiing before.
Comments: This is par for the course for this facility. Workers are not aware of policy - for example, a "two for one deal" was not in force for the holidays, although it was confirmed to be available by a phone call the night before. This place is not serious about doing business and should be avoided.
