At present, there are 3,121 acres of skiable terrain accessed by four high-speed quad chairs, an eight-passenger gondola and two Magic Carpet lifts on the dedicated beginner slope and the mid-mountain lodge. The mid-mountain Revelation Lodge features breathtaking vistas and a counter-service restaurant with espresso bar, deck with barbeque and local beer on tap.

With majestic alpine bowls, legendary tree skiing, a continuous fall line and lofty rolling groomers, the terrain options are endless. An additional three exclusive alpine bowls for cat-skiing and half a million acres of snowcat and helicopter skiing and snowboarding terrain are offered by the resort.

The village base offers a variety of unique eating establishments and après-ski spots. Rockford Wok|Bar|Grill is a full-service, lounge-style restaurant offering breakfast, lunch, après-ski, dinner, and late-night meal options while The Mackenzie Common Tavern offers both microbrews and more well-known beers too, plus a selection of cocktails such as the "Ugly Sweater".
