- I ski instructed at Steven's for three years, and have been a member at one
- of the private cabins for quite a long time.
-
- I believe their weekend prices are $26-27. They have no express chairs, and
- on the weekends lines can be quite long (15-20 minutes, and sometimes up to
- 40 minutes). The Tye Mill chair is usually less crouded, as is the 'new'
- back-side chairs. The best intermediate runs are probably Brooks Chair
- (farthest to the right as you're looking at the area from the base lodge)
- and the red chair (I forgot its name, tho. But it is right next to Brooks).

- Can't help you there, though. Sorry.
