The "Valley " is such a wonderful place. Don't compare the vertical, but note the expansive multiple angles and faces of several ridges. This resort is a one stop shop it has it all!.... Parents and young people will appreciate the layout. Plenty of opportunities to visit multiple lodges for refreshments and relaxing near a fireplace. Mid-week visits are fantastic with little mountain traffic. Lifties, safety and patrol are paramount. Plenty of high-speed chair lifts wisk you to the top for great riding. The snow making system is the best ever seen which stretches the season on both ends, and natural snow is dump quality from two great lakes depending upon the wind direction.

Clean cute shop. Helpful friendly staff. Great variety with unique chocolates! I eat chocolate on a daily basis & ONLY great chocolate! My favorite is sponge candy! They offer dark, milk & orange chocolate but my favorite is the milk chocolate. The chocolate is smooth, creamy, melt in your mouth heaven! Our visitors always want to check out Watson's during their stay. Every trip we take to our out of state family includes Watson's sponge candy & it definitely has to be from Watson's because their chocolate is by far the very best!
