Snow was good and the group was kept to a sensible size. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Solid operator.

Instruction was solid and the days were well judged for conditions. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.
