I wanted to take the family skiing, kids for the first time, and didn't want to break the bank. They fit that need perfectly. My 3 kids got a private 2hr lesson, while my wife and I reacquainted ourselves with sliding downhill on skis. Our children had a good time with Mike their instructor and they developed a good foundation for skiing. We had a really good time, on the plus side, Bear Creek is a year round resort with a spa, fitness, multiple pools and multiple places to eat right there, seating was limited do to the season of the "rona" (covid). The resort rooms were spacious and clean. We liked it so much that we have already returned, and next ski season we are already planning to return so my son and I can learn snowboarding.
