No lift lines, awesome lodge with a laid back vibe but it's small so it tends to get crowded on busy days. The snow is all natural there isn't any man made.

Lakeview Bowman's Club has they're annual Ski Hill Shoot. Ride the ski lift to the top and shoot at 3d archery targets on your way back to the lodge. Incredible fun for two days. Winter time skiing is great when we have enough snow.

Wonderful place. Still a small family resort and everyone is so nice, especially the staff. One chairlift to the top. They still value the old ski resort culture/tradition 10 miles out from Lakeview
