"Kids took ski school for their first ever skiing experience. They loved it! By our last day, they were going down greens and a couple of easier blues. They loved the bunny slopes for the first couple of days. It gave them something to build confidence."
"Great mountain, great people. I had an equipment failure that prevented me from a day on the slopes and they helped me out in every way, smiles all around. “Would recommend”"
"We were so excited to try snowmobiles. Unfortunately, they had to cancel our tour because the snow was melting too fast this year. We understand that’s completely out of their control. The people were so nice & of course refunded the amount I had paid to reserve. Hopefully we can try again in the future."
"Not exactly where they said the kids lessons would meet, but they helped take my 12 yr old son to a level 5 skier from zero experience in three afternoon lessons. Time well spent."
"Purg is a fun mountain for kids. It’s pretty pricey for what it is, MCP are perhaps milking it dry."
"I had such an amazing time with my sister and partner! A great place to learn how to snowboard. I was a little nervous at first, but found that I loved it!! I'll definitely be visiting again to do more snowboarding!! I had an amazing experience for my first time!!"
"Nice slopes for learners and intermediate skiing - love to be here when there’s enough natural snow in the run - there’s instructor in the adaptive sports association and lots of learning activities."
"My kids love this place. Great for family fun. The teacher Kim it’s awesome. My kids took classes with her and learn super fast. Thanks."
