Sapphire Valley's lodging amenities include a Jacuzzi, sauna, indoor heated pool, exercise equipment, and a game room, all in their recreation center. Operating Wednesday through Friday from 5 pm until 10 pm (night skiing only) and Saturday from 9 am until 10 pm, Sundays from noon until 10 pm, this laid back lodge makes for a relaxing getaway for a family.
Finally, we come to Scaly Mountain. Yes, it's true that Scaly isn't actually a ski resort, since they only cater to tubers, but that just means it makes for a lot more affordable fun for the family!
