If you booked lessons, arrive at least an hour before to get rentals. There is huge lines for rental pickup.

Parking was just a mess since we went during the holiday weekend.

Stay upstairs to avoid banging on the downstairs ceiling. Gaby's was great food and 5 min away.   If you want to go sledding, leave early as the state park area is very crowded.
