The accommodations are simply luxurious with amenities by Aveda and Bleu Cloud Beds. Onsen Spa, an Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa, is a perfect place to unwind after a day on the slopes. The numerous dining options include Ciera Steak & Chophouse, del Soul, and a 24-hour diner. You may never have to leave the building, if it weren't for the infinite beauty outside.
