I am a solid blue cruiser skier and this mountain provides a wonderful array of runs for me - challenging enough and yet well marked so I'm not off on expert runs by mistake.

Super spiral pasta mac 'n cheese, with or without ham served with a biscuit. We also had fries and they were yummy and addicting. The beverages are pricey, so stick with the fountain sodas. That's all I had to eat but there were plenty of other foods available and I'm sure they were all as good. Great group of friendly... More

My husband and I have been skiing at Shawnee Peak (Pleasant Mountain) for 20+ years. We live in Texas now, so our kids had not had the opportunity to ski when they were younger.
