8/10
For people skiing crested, the ground location is amazing. It's right across from the Silver Queen and Red Lady lifts, so no complaints there. Also, there are a few restaurant options in the village, but with the free shuttle down to town every 15 minutes, the options really expand.
A few things to note: 1. Stairs! Lots and Lots of Stairs. The unit is on the 4th floor, and then the main bedroom is an additional 2 flights of stairs above the main condo entrance. There is no elevator, so just be prepared to get a couple extra flights in per day.
2. The condo is well appointed (had everything, including a humidifier). Amenities were good, plenty of hot water, and everything in the kitchen worked well and was fully operational.
3. Check in is a little hokey, and had to check in at the Grand Lodge. It's not that far away, just disorienting if it's your first day there.
4. The view doesn't quite match the pictures from the condo. The condo view is of the Mexican restaurant deck, and you can see the mountain if you lean around the retaining wall on the deck. That said, not unpleasant, just doesn't match the pictures.
Those are really the only comments. We enjoyed our stay, and our legs got a little stronger after a long day of skiing.
