For an indoor mountain, it is pretty incredible. The snow is somehow so soft and well-maintained. The line got a little long at times, but it was no more than a 10-minute wait (since there is only one lift). The only thing that would make it better would be having a worker at the top of the mountain guiding people down or getting them out of the way, as people kept piling up at the top, making it difficult to start down. Same thing for getting off the lift, the workers were not always urging the people who got off before to move or stopping the lift if they couldn't move right away, which led to a few collisions as people getting off the lift would run into the others standing at the bottom. Really good place for beginners, though!

Big SNOW at American Dream was an incredibly rewarding experience, especially as someone learning to ski. I took private lessons, and the instructors were patient, encouraging, and really focused on building confidence step by step. The controlled indoor environment made it much less intimidating, and it felt like a great place to learn without worrying about weather or changing conditions. After multiple attempts and two classes, I was finally able to ski from the top most point of the venue, which felt like a huge personal win. The way the lessons were structured made a big difference, breaking things down into manageable steps while still pushing me just enough to improve. Each run felt better than the last, and the progress was very noticeable by the end of the second class. Overall,

Great place 😍😍😍😍 We had a great experience at Big Snow. The staff here are incredibly kind, patient, and professional especially with kids. My 10-year-old son felt very comfortable and well taken care of. Since I didn’t go inside with him, the team helped him throughout the process, guided him calmly, and made sure he felt safe and confident. They also assisted me with purchasing the ticket and explained everything clearly and patiently. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for a child to learn and experience snowboarding in a safe, controlled, and pleasant environment before moving on to outdoor ski resorts. Highly recommended! 🥰🥰

It was a cool experience, first time trying it and so far I liked it but I will recommend to undress before you use their clothes because we were sweating and also go with someone that already know and can actually teach or help you with the basic because there's no body that helps you as a beginner, than God my husband has done it and he explained to me how to do it. Bring your water because you get tired very easy

We had lots of fun going to Big Snow. We got a deal for holidays, $145 for three sessions and equipment. If you are a beginner, this place is excellent for practice. Slopes are pretty challenging; it’s a small hill, but we still enjoyed the experience. The only downside is that the staff gave me snowboarding boots instead of skiing boots, which cost me 30 minutes of a 2-hour window for skiing. Also, we went during the holidays, which made the place very crowded, and the staff did not properly regulate the lift line.
