It's difficult to relax and learn when someone is impatient with you. Silver Creek is good if you want small lines, weather and good slopes. I've been there a few times and it has never been crowded. It has a dope terrain park, and some pretty good beginner slopes. I recommend it to people who aren't looking for a huge challenge but want to get stoked.
Silver Creek is a great resort for beginners and families.
But I am an expert snowboarder and have been skiing there for seven years. Especially since all of the runs converge into one base. I go with my family and will probably see them three or four times throughout the day, even though I ride alone. I had to be talked into this ski trip. It was my first, and I can honestly say it will not be my last.
