Mustang Powder

Reviewed By 386ronf

I was there in early December. The snow did not disappoint. My group did 3 nights at the lodge. The food was excellent. 4 and 5-course dinners! They know how to do it right. The first 2 days of skiing were mainly tree skiing due to the weather. On the third day the storm broke we had a bluebird day in the alpine! Hot tub - yes, clean rooms - yes, great staff - yes. If you have the skill you should go here to ski.

My wife had always wanted to try this but as a skier I was a little dubious it may be a bit boring. I could not have been more wrong, snow shoeing through the woods in deep snow was excellent fun, we laughed a lot. Our guide was knowledgeable and we also learnt a lot about the Forrest and the area. Highly recommended, give it a try!!

Hired skis from these guys and the quality and flexibility they provided made the experience a real pleasure. Changed my skis several times and it was no problem. Thanks Amelia! Highly recommended business.
