They charge for everything, even though the room rates are already expensive for the area. For those who want to ski at the Quicksilver lift, the hotel offers no assistance whatsoever. Even buying lift tickets is entirely up to the guest. There are no discounts or assistance with any services related to lift tickets or equipment rental.
