Our units do not have cable TV, hair dryers, shampoo or toiletries (except soap), or laundry facilities. Select accommodations may have kitchens, coffeemakers, microwaves, refrigerators, and TVs that only work with wifi. Feel free to bring a streaming device, such as Roku stick to stream on in-room TV’s or purchase one at the front desk. - Have kids ages 12 & under? Do yourself a favor and register for your child’s Power Kids pass BEFORE arriving on the mountain. Then, all you’ll need to do is show proof of age (you can present a photo of a birth certificate, passport, or ID on your phone) and you’ll get their pass right away. This little trick will save you a lot of time.
