Rating: 3.5 stars
What I liked: Several loops make it possible to select as short or as long a trek as most people would enjoy. This is a good place to bring beginning skiers.
What I disliked: Although usually well-marked, the trails are lacking signs at the first junctions from the parking lot.
Comments: Even on a holiday weekend the trails were not crowded, although visitors seeking to rent skis are advised to show up early in the day.
