Perfect location for a family wanting to ski/snowboard

We had a wonderful time! Our family of 6 was very cozy in this sweet property. Everything you’d need to make a meal. Property management was easy to communicate with. Property was clean, orderly and ideal for active family wanting to enjoy the outdoors.
