I like the ski-in, ski-out (after a very short hike). And if you're not even up for a short walk, there's an on-demand shuttle service. I also like having a restaurant and bar on the premises so you don't have to venture out in the cold to eat or drink. I also discovered that the gift shop has convenience food items tucked in coolers in the back.
