Pros:

-There are baskets and a few nice, though short, teepads.

-Rough terrain, but mostly open forest floor... pretty easy to find wayward discs.

-It's fun to be on a ski mountain.

Cons:

-Individual hole design is poor. The short holes are kind of fun, but the long ones are completely inaccessible with no routes whatsoever. Either a huge amount of tree removal needs to take place to make these beasts into tournament level par threes or each of the long holes needs to be bifurcated into two smaller holes.
Even if there was massive tree removal, the design of the long holes would still need to be rerouted-- They don't yet make discs that go "hard right a hundred feet, then straight a couple hundred feet, then hard right again uphill through dense trees then left then right again"

-a couple holes on the back were unplayable because of children's summer camp activities.

-The signage that points you to hole one is weird and wrong. Stay left and low to find the course-- it's basically behind the apartments.

-No payoff hole. What's the point of a ski mountain course without a big payoff hole?!

-Most of the fairways are along rocky and craggy trail, discs can get a little chewed up.

Other Thoughts:

Pretty frustrating, as with most ski hill courses.
Unless I lived up at BV, I would have no reason to return.
