Is High Meadow Park next to the parking lot?
It is up the mountain, accessed via Red Pine Gondola. Allow time for the ascent and follow the school’s meeting instructions.
Should we explore both bases on the first day?
For a first visit, it is simpler to get to know one sector and its return route. You can expand to the other once you know the connections.
Are Mountain Village and Canyons interchangeable for transfers?
No. Confirm the full name in your bookings: arriving at the wrong base adds a journey before skiing.
