"It was great. Third time ever skiing. Man made snow but still fun. Location is nearby Mandan / Bismarck. The watch has food available for purchase. If they run two lifts the blue and green. I have yet to go on the green lift, and we'll try this year to make it out there more than once."

"Nice little local ski area. Not busy when we were there. Staff is all friendly. Good food. Easy parking and entry/exit. The green lift, with a couple of obstacles and a ramp didn’t seem to open until after noon each day that we were there. Not much snow this time around but still we made a weekend of it. Will return."
