Me and the homies are trying to choose which mountain we're going to get passes to this year.
I did Fortune last year and honestly im thinking Cascade this year. 2/3 of the boys want fortune though. Just looking for a little imput.

Factors im looking at are
Park
Lift
Lodge
Monkey Trails
Skiing quality

Thanks NSOttawa

I'd say Fortune has the best skiing out of any hill in the area (excluding St Marie) if you're into just skiing.

Here's what I think of them:


Park : Way better at Cascades. (Even better at Edelweiss, however)
Lift : Fortune's lifts suck. Slow. Cascades' are marginally better.
Lodge : Both dece lodges. I don't really care either way. Fortune gets crowded, Cascades isn't huge. meh.
Monkey Trails: Fortune has many due to the mountain bike trails in the summer. Not too sure bout Cas.
Skiing quality: Fortune is better for pure skiing.

I spend the majority of my time skiing glades so I go to fortune. There is some quality stuff if you're willing to look or *gasp* hike.

Related: fortune's group pass deal ends next Monday and all my lads are getting passes elsewhere. Anyone have a group that needs another person? ...I'll show you my pow stashes.

Cascades Lift is PAINFULLY slow, In that respect I almost prefer fortune, park is kind of a shit show, but fortune has all around better terrain.

Protip: get an edel pass.

They groom their park in the morning instead of at night.
