Just what we were looking for....
We definately liked the location! It is located right on the slopes at the base of the mountian near the lifts. Great location. It was clean, the employees were friendly, the restaurant had great food and a happy hour. They also have a ski shop in the hotel and will store your ski's. A restaurant in the hotel is very nice, especially when it is very cold at night. This way you don't have to take the shuttle all the way downtown. We skied to our room several times during the day, took a break, and ate lunch right in our room. Then we hit the slopes again and didn't have to kill much time.
When you combine the price, location, restaurant, hot tub, heated pool, the Ptarmigan Inn is going to be hard to beat. It's a little outdated, but we didn't care about that. We were there to have a good time and to ski. I would absolutely stay at the Ptarmigan Inn again!!
