Nice quiet ski village. Easy to drive or walk around. Had some cafes and restaurants open and even a mini-Golf course.
Crossing is why you go...couple of reasonable restaurants etc. but pretty isolated otherwise. No real grocery store.

Ski-biz shop/rental excellent service for skiing and walking boots
