We went skiing here for the first time and had a blast. Lift tickets are to the left of the main entrance. From the backside of the lodge, ski down from the top of the hill to get to the lifts. The cabin near lift 5 has plenty of snack options if on the far side of the slopes. A few of the green runs are flat in parts, but easy for those learning to ski. Plenty of fresh snow in the Gaylord area. Enjoy!
