What that is like on a ski day
The hill runs along the Niagara Escarpment, so its trails sit side by side along the ridge rather than on a single peak, served by five high-speed six-seat chairs. Night skiing on 30 trails means a late start still leaves a full evening: night lift tickets start at 3:30 PM.
Staying beside it
Our chalets are a 7 to 10 minute walk from the ski hills, and apartment #B2 is 100 m from the lifts, so nobody has to drive or park. See which chalets work best for a group ski trip.
