We flew to Boston then 4 hour transfer. Stayed in the 4 Mountains hotel - OK but no entertainment.
Best food and entertainment was the Wobbly Barn - great place and great live bands.

Slopes were fantastic - locals not over friendly.
No queues to speak of - great lift service.

All in all - brilliant.
