We stayed in Copper One Lodge opposite the American Eagle. Very quick access to lift and skiing.
We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom appartment (flat) (or is that a condo?) (I'm English you see.) The room was graded gold. This was an exaggeration. The rooms were not very big and the living area too small for all of us to watch TV at once. Maid service was unpredictable (every 2-3 days ) but satisfactory. The sofa bed was awful - far too soft and uncomfortable for 1 person, never mind 2. You could sleep on it as a sofa though as it was very long. The room was quiet.
Food on the mountain and in Frisco was excellent - though being a small English person I found the portions rather huge. It was all very well cooked and appropriate for its price range - and we tried everywhere! As a beer lover I must especially recommend the Dillon Dam Brewery which makes excellent beer and good food for a very good price. The EPA (Extra Pale Ale) was lovely.
The altitude was a problem. It took 5 days to lose the cracking headache (no, not hungover!); and we never, in 13 days, lost the nose bleeds, blocked nose, dry skin, breathlessness,and poor sleep. Skiing was excellent though. A really good area which, if there had been a nice refreshing snow fall while we were there, would have been outstanding. It really does suit all standards and our experience of teaching for a near beginner was very encouraging.
Intrawest charge for wi-fi access - they say $10 per day - they mean $10 from 4pm to 4pm or any lesser period of time to 4pm. This was a first for me - it has been free elsewhere. I think this is a not inconsiderable cheek and exploitation of monopoly.
The swimming pool and athletic club is very nice.
