Ski-in/ski-out or a short walk?
Among the places to stay we found at Schuss Mountain, 1 place to stay is about a 5-minute walk or less from the bottom of a lift. “Ski-in/ski-out” and “slopeside” are labels each property gives itself, and they can mean a run past the door or a groomed path to the nearest chair. We don't repeat the label; we measure the walk to a lift's bottom station and how close a mapped run passes. Before you book, ask the property which run reaches the door and whether it is groomed all season.
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.
