Spring Break family ski trip

We had a blast staying at this cute home over Spring Break. Two adults and two kids (ages 6 and 8) loved everything about it, including the close proximity to skiing/lifts and the swimming pool within the building. We'd love to come back. It was perfect for us. Thank you!

shower

The unit was clean and the management was easy to work with. However, the showers in both bathrooms did not have much for water pressure and also the water was cold. This was kind of a deal breaker for us as we stayed 3 nights and a family of 4. An alternative that was given to us was we could use the pool showers. We did not. The cost to rent this condo is expensive to not have working showers.
