Places to stay, closest first

Condo complexes and rental homes are often missing from the open data we measure, so the real number near the lifts is usually higher. The mountain's own lodging pages list them.

The highest point on our map is about 6,650 feet, and the lowest lift starts near 6,030 feet, a drop of about 610 feet. Elevations come from the map's terrain model, so treat them as close, not exact.
