The only way to be closer to Chair 3 would be to sleep in the operator's booth! Needless to say, we were first on the chair in the morning! It was also nice having a view of the slope and being on the same level as, and directly next to, the locker room (you get a ski locker, too!) and exit to Chair 3. Very convenient, also to be able to pop in and use the bathroom (there is one in the locker room, too) in-between runs. Check-in was a breeze and the unit is also right next to the Village ski shop, across from the Bierstube, and next to Ed & Mully's and walking distance from Hellroaring restaurant. Very convenient location. Parking in the garage was great, too. Nice to load and unload in warmer, covered conditions and not have to scrape your windshield. The unit itself was clean and well stocked. Everything we needed and just what we wanted for a fun week skiing!
