Perfect

Half of the group went skiing each day. The other half stayed back and enjoyed walks in the beautiful area. We also enjoyed the hot tub each evening. The house has awesome windows to enjoy the trees from inside. We hung out in the large modern kitchen a lot. The place is very comfortable. Thanks!
