My favorite memories of Sunrise Ski Resort involved skiing down the slopes with two of my daughters after they had been to a half day lesson. It was their first time skiing and they took to it like champs. I also remember a wonderful evening of night skiing. The mountain was simply amazing after dark, with plenty of light to see the trail, but not much else.
If night skiing interests you plan to be there next Jan. 16, Feb. 13 or Feb. 27. Those are the night skiing dates.
Whether you ski at night or during the day, or both, Sunrise Ski Resort is a pleasant experience for the entire family.
